title: Limit the decimal places in a float
body: <p>How can I limit the decimal places of a 'float' in python without rounding the number?</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>a = 1.45698946
  &gt;&gt;
  Limit_a = 1.45698
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And not:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1.45699
  </code></pre>
