Question

import csv
excel_cell = 6.48084E+11
cell = csv.reader(excel_cell)
print cell
>> cell = 6.48084E+11
# My desired output would be cell = 648084201003

I am trying to use the csv reader in python to read an excel csv and return some of the values. The cell displays in scientific notations but if I click on the cell, it shows its value is 648084201003. Is there a way I can read this as digits rather than scientific notation?

Answer 1

The csv.reader is completely unrelated to the problem. It returns rows of the items:

>>> a = 6.48084E+11
>>> a
648084000000.0
>>> s = '{0:.0f}'.format(a)
>>> s
'648084000000'
>>> print s
648084000000
