Hi Hubert,
I see, so it sounds like you're using Python as an extended calculati
Thank you Danny for your comments!
I have now printed out four responses, and perhaps I might
even learn some Python!
It will take me some time to analyze all comments!
I had never heard of Python until I audited two Physics
classes. "Math Methods for Physics," and "Quantum Mechanics.

Thanks to all of you (Alan, Chris, Kent) for your
responses!
Before I try to follow up on these suggestions, it might be
good to examine the display function module, and provide a few lines from a
.py module that needs display.
Typical lines in a defintion module, that need a formatted

The numbers are, of course, stored in binary so the real question is:
can we *display* them in scientific format?
The answer is yes using string format operators.
Try playing with the %e and %g options:

There are a couple of recipes at ASPN that might be useful with table
generation:

I am too old to learn all the tricks of Python, and my main
purpose is for Physics calculations
I do have some questions, but perhaps my useage of Python as
an Algebraic Calculator will be interesting to someone?
