No.
I tested with
n = 10.0
You code returns '1'

My code returns '10'

Here again:
### CODE ###
def cut_decimals(float):
	"""
	input: floating number
	output: number as string with zero decimals removed
	"""
	#print float-int(float)
	#print '%.4f' %float
	if float-int(float) != 0:
		number =  '%.4f' %float
		number = number.replace('0.','X.')
		number = number.replace('0','')
		number = number.replace('X.','0.')
	else:
		number =  '%.0f' %float
	return number
#### END ###
