How to increase the precision of float values to more than 10 in python? [duplicate]

Question

daily_raw_consumption = float(daily_rate) * float(rep_factor)

float(daily_raw_consumption)

By default rep_factor is getting converted into a precision of 10 values. For Ex:

Actual: 60.8333333333

What I need : 60.833333333333333333

Is it possible to modify the precision without converting it to Decimal

Answer 1

Consider using Decimal instead of float

from decimal import *
daily_rate = 1
rep_factor = 3
getcontext().prec = 30 # set precision to 30
daily_raw_consumption = Decimal(daily_rate) / Decimal(rep_factor)
print(daily_raw_consumption) # 0.333333333333333333333333333333

Answer 2

 print '{0:.50f}'.format(22/7.0)

For your case

print '{0:.50f}'.format(daily_raw_consumption)
