look at this interactive session log, check the docs for
further information.

>>> a = 112.25689
>>> print a
112.25689
>>> print type(a)
<type 'float'>
>>> b = int(a)
>>> print b
112
>>> print type(b)
<type 'int'>
>>> c = float(b)
>>> print c
112.0
>>> print type(c)
<type 'float'>
>>> print "%d" % b
112
>>> print "%04d" % b
0112
>>> print "%4d" % b
 112
>>> print "%4d" % a
 112
>>> print "%.2f" % a
112.26
  
Play with the interpreter, that one of the pleasures of Python. ;-)
