Question

I’m reading into a csv file an extracting a piece of data with the line:

x = float(node[1])

when I print(x), I get the correct value or the exact value found in the cell. e.g 153.018848

But when I try to pass x as variable in the following:

print('<node version="0" lon="%d">' %(x)) 

the output will be <node version="0" lon="153"> . Of course I want the value 153.018848.

What have I overlooked?

Thanks in advance.

You’ve overlooked the fact that %d is for integers. Try %f instead.
