how to use format keyword?

[smoh]

I want to format the floating point numbers in certain way when I make a table into a ascii file.
I've noticed that the default format for float64 is '25.17e'.
I tried to use format keyword:

t = atpy.Table()
t.add_column('name', data, format='%10.3f')

but when I check t.format('name') = '%1' (i.e. the first two characters..)
I've tried '%10.3f' which gives "Not all argument converted ' error, and '10.3f' which also gives error.
I wasn't able to find any example for the format keyword.

What is the right way to use this keyword?

Try specifying the format without the % and make sure you are using ATpy 0.9.6 - does this work? If so, I can try and make it more robust to whether % is included or not.
