For completeness, here's the output using just format, which I prefer over str.format because there's less going on: it removes all of the str.format machinery and basically directly calls obj.__format__.

>>> format(1504, '.3g')
'1.5e+03'
>>> format(1505, '.3g')
'1.50e+03'
>>> format(1506, '.3g')
'1.51e+03'
