Python has a function round, which returns numbers of type double:

 >>> print round(1123.456789, 4)
1123.4568
 >>> print round(1123.456789, 2)
1123.46
 >>> print round(1123.456789, 0)
1123.0

This function has a wonderful magic property:

 >>> print round(1123.456789, -1)
1120.0
 >>> print round(1123.456789, -2)
1100.0

If you need an integer as a result use int to convert type:

 >>> print int(round(1123.456789, -2))
1100
 >>> print int(round(8359980, -2))
8360000
