thanks Joachim,

but I didn't phrase my question accurate enough,
I not only want to print pi, but I want to print anything

e.g. I now get:
  Model 1.0000000149 1.0 [ 1.00000001  1.00000001  3.00000001  
4.00000001  5.00000001]

but I want
  Model 1.00 1.0 [ 1.00  1.00  3.00  4.00  5.00]

and as I use "print" as a quick and dirty intermediate result for 
everything,
I don't want to spell out each format statement.
