Print number in engineering format

Question

I am trying to print a number into engineering format with python, but I cannot seem to get it to work. The syntax SEEMS simple enough, but it just doesn\'t work.

Answer 1

Previously I tried to answer, but found out it's just still the scientific notation. The engineering notation will be supported in the future versions of Python format specifier (3.2?), but not in Python 2.7.

Look at this issue http://bugs.python.org/issue8060
