I have a number in my python script that I want to use as part of the title of a plot in matplotlib. Is there a function that converts a float to a formatted TeX string?
Basically,
str(myFloat)
returns
3.5e+20
but I want
$3.5 imes 10^{20}$
or at least for matplotlib to format the float like the second string would be formatted. I'm also stuck using python 2.4, so code that runs in old versions is especially appreciated.
