How can I return:

".666"

from float:

"0.666"

This is what I have so far:


"%.6f" % x

Thanks Everyone,

This works but I'm not entirely sure I know what you are
trying to accomplish.

("%.3f" % x)[1:]


x = 12345.666; ("%.3f" % x)[1:]
'2345.666'


I'm sure of neither what the OP is trying to accomplish nor what Larry's
definition of "works" is :-)

Perhaps the condition abs(x) < 1.0 is implied ...

For the example given, my code works. With so little information
the only thing I could do is answer the specific question and
caveat it that I don't know "exactly" what OP is trying to accomplish.
By the OPs response to my post, it was what he was looking for.
But I agree it is very much an edge-case question.
