Python: How to get number without scientific notation

Question

By doing this:

j = pow(p1, k1)

I get this:

j: 2.128e-100

How can I display it without the scientific notation? Something like this:

j: 2.128

`2.128` isn't what the number actually is, though. You could format it, but without that notation there are a lot of zeros. — jonrsharpe, Nov 03 '16 at 18:17
yeah I know, but isn't there any way to just get the number and ignore the zeros? (i'm sorry, i'm still learning python) — catinthenet, Nov 03 '16 at 18:20

You can use string formatting:

>>> print('{:.103f}'.format(2.128e-100))
0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002128

thanks but I was hoping something to get me rid of the zeros. Is that possible? To just get the number without all the zeros? – catinthenet Nov 03 '16 at 18:23
@catinthenet: if your don't want zeros, just use scientific notation. – Daniel Nov 03 '16 at 18:44
