dropping trailing '.0' from floats

Question

I\'m looking for a way to convert numbers to string format, dropping any redundant \'.0\'

The input data is a mix of floats and strings. Desired output:

0

Answer 1

So much ugliness out there…

My personal favorite is to convert floats that don't require to be a float (= when they actually are integers) to int, thus removing the, now useless, trailing 0

(int(i) if i.is_integer() else i for i in lst)

Then you can print them normally.
