I'm using an API that passes data from Python to Java. My issue is the Java does not like e notation. I get an illegal character exception. So I need to format my input such that there is no e in it. I'm using Python 2.7; if a newer version would help I could move up.
Decimal doesn't work (w=1e-8, e = w*100000000):
>>>Decimal(e)/Decimal(1)
Decimal('1')
>>>Decimal(e)/Decimal(100000000)
Decimal('1E-8')
>>>Decimal(w)/Decimal(1)
Decimal('1.000000000E-8')
String formatting doesn't work:
>>>print "%.16f" % w
0.0000000100000000
>>>s = "%.16f" % w
>>>Decimal(s)
Decimal('1.00000000E-8')
Float doesn't work; is there a way? I don't have access to the Java code so I can't cast it on that side. Thanks!
