Ahh, someone who didn't suffer through c-style string formatting :)

I can't say that the manual has the clearest explanation
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html#l2h-154)

You don't need to round at all, just modify your print statement:
print "Current Price: %.2f" % (cp)
                       ^^
the .2 specifies the number of digits to be included after the decimal
point, I believe that rounding happens automagically.  Someone correct me if
I'm wrong.
