I have a nested Python list that looks like the following:
my_list = [[3.74, 5162, 13683628846.64, 12783387559.86, 1.81],
[9.55, 116, 189688622.37, 260332262.0, 1.97],
[2.2, 768, 6004865.13, 5759960.98, 1.21],
[3.74, 4062, 3263822121.39, 3066869087.9, 1.93],
[1.91, 474, 44555062.72, 44555062.72, 0.41],
[5.8, 5006, 8254968918.1, 7446788272.74, 3.25],
[4.5, 7887, 30078971595.46, 27814989471.31, 2.18],
[7.03, 116, 66252511.46, 81109291.0, 1.56],
[6.52, 116, 47674230.76, 57686991.0, 1.43],
[1.85, 623, 3002631.96, 2899484.08, 0.64],
[13.76, 1227, 1737874137.5, 1446511574.32, 4.32],
[13.76, 1227, 1737874137.5, 1446511574.32, 4.32]]
I then import Numpy, and set print options to (suppress=True)
. When I create an array:
my_array = numpy.array(my_list)
I can't for the life of me suppress scientific notation:

If I create a simple numpy array directly:
new_array = numpy.array([1.5, 4.65, 7.845])
I have no problem and it prints as follows:
[ 1.5 4.65 7.845]
Does anyone know what my problem is?

This is what you need:
Here is the documentation which says
In the original question, the difference between the array created "directly" and the original "big" array is that the big array contains very large numbers (e.g.
1.44651157e+09
), so NumPy chooses the scientific notation for it, unless it's suppressed.
