title: Print floating point values without leading zero
body: <p>Trying to use a format specifier to print a float that will be less than 1 without the leading zero. I came up with a bit of a hack but I assume there is a way to just drop the leading zero in the format specifier. I couldn't find it in the docs.</p>

  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; k = .1337
  &gt;&gt;&gt; print "%.4f" % k
  '0.1337'
  </code></pre>

  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; print ("%.4f" % k) [1:]
  '.1337'
  </code></pre>
