Cutting off trailing zeroes?

[Janos Blazi]

Id like to format a string like this:
  s = "(%f)" % x

Now if x=1.5 then s="1.50000" or something like this. Is there a tirivial
way of cutting of the zeroes, i.e. getting s="1.5" instead of s="1.50000"?

Of course it can be programmed very simply. My question is: can I do it with
specifiers somehow?
