Round off dict values to 2 decimals

Question

I\'m having a hard time rounding off values in dicts. What I have is a list of dicts like this:

y = [{\'a\': 80.0, \'b\': 0.0786235, \'c\': 10.0, \'d\': 10.6         


        

Answer 1

Taking the best bits from a couple of other answers:

class LessPrecise(float):
    def __repr__(self):
        return str(self)

def roundingVals_toTwoDeci(y):
    for d in y:
        for k, v in d.items():
            v = LessPrecise(round(v, 2))
            print v
            d[k] = v

>>> roundingVals_toTwoDeci(y)
80.0
10.0
0.08
10.67
80.73
10.78
0.0
10.0
80.72
10.0
0.78
10.0
80.78
10.0
0.0
10.98
>>> s=json.dumps(y)
>>> s
'[{"a": 80.0, "c": 10.0, "b": 0.08, "d": 10.67}, {"a": 80.73, "c": 10.78, "b": 0.0, "d": 10.0}, {"a": 80.72, "c": 10.0, "b": 0.78, "d": 10.0}, {"a": 80.78, "c": 10.0, "b": 0.0, "d": 10.98}]'
