1324343032.3243253 

>>int(1324343032.324325235 * 1000) / 1000.0 

1324343032.3239999 

>>round(int(1324343032.324325235 * 1000) / 1000.0,3) 1324343032.3239999

Answer 1

To truncate to three decimals in Python you can use the below-mentioned code:-

'%.3f'%(1324343032.324325235)

Use an additional float() around it if you want to preserve it as a float.
