title: Force python to not output a float in standard form / scientific notation / exponential form
body: <p>So this works fine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; float(1.0e-1)
  0.10000000000000001
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when dealing with a larger number, it won't print:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; float(1.0e-9)
  1.0000000000000001e-09
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force this?  Maybe using numpy or something.</p>
