How to suppress scientific notation when printing float values?

Question

Here\'s my code:

x = 1.0
y = 100000.0    
print x/y

My quotient displays as 1.00000e-05.

Is there any way to suppress

Answer 1

Most of the answers above require you to specify precision. But what if you want to display floats like this, with no unnecessary zeros:

1
0.1
0.01
0.001
0.0001
0.00001
0.000001
0.000000000001

numpy has an answer: np.format_float_positional

import numpy as np

def format_float(num):
    return np.format_float_positional(num, trim='-')
