Instead of all the zeros2float craziness use string formatting. It
will take care of rounding and the number of decimal places.

>>> import datetime
>>> lowz = 81.7499997345
>>> timestamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
>>> print "NEW LOW: %.4f at %s" % (lowz, timestamp)
NEW LOW: 81.7500 at 22:55:13

If you want to control the number of decimal places in the string
formatting do something like:

>>> i = 3
>>> print ("NEW LOW: %%.%sf at %%s" % i) % (lowz, timestamp)
NEW LOW: 81.750 at 22:55:13
>>> i = 6
>>> print ("NEW LOW: %%.%sf at %%s" % i) % (lowz, timestamp)
NEW LOW: 81.750000 at 22:55:13
