Converting a float to a formatted outside of print command

[stephen_b]

I'd like to convert a list of floats to formatted strings. The
following example raises a TypeError:

y = 0.5
x = '.1f' % y

y = 0.5
x = '.1f' % y

You meant:

x = '%.1f' % y

I'd like to convert a list of floats to formatted strings. The
following example raises a TypeError:

y = 0.5
x = '.1f' % y

You're missing a percent sign:

x = '%.1f' % y

or:

print '%.1f' % 0.5


Hope this helps
Philip

Maybe
'%.1f' % y
?
