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

Since this is the top result on Google, I will post here after failing to find a solution for my problem. If you are looking to format the display value of a float object and have it remain a float - not a string, you can use this solution:

Create a new class that modifies the way that float values are displayed.

from builtins import float
class FormattedFloat(float):

    def __str__(self):
        return "{:.10f}".format(self).rstrip('0')

You can modify the precision yourself by changing the integer values in {:f}
