Parsing a date string using java.text.SimpleDateFormat
I have a weird problem, I need to parse a date string that looks like 1997-02-14T00:00:00.0000000+05:30. The odd thing about the date string is the time zone information.

Easy pretty printing of floats in python?
I have a list of floats. If I simply print it, it shows up like this: [9.0, 0.052999999999999999, 0.032575399999999997, 0.010892799999999999, 0.055702500000000002, 0.079330300000000006] I could use print "%.2f", but that would require a for loop to traverse the list, which I consider to be ugly.
