Django templates: Convert float to integer if it ends with .0?

In a Django template, is there a way to convert a float into an integer if and only if it ends in .0?

I have a field for population that is a float in my database. Sometimes it is 'really' a float, ending .5, but more often it ends .0, because there is a whole number of people, and in those cases I'd rather just show an integer. 

{{ place.population }} people

Any ideas for a clever way to get round this in Django?

You could write a template tag, but I'd recommend making this a method on your model.

class Country(models.Model):

    ...

    def get_population(self):
        if self.population == int(self.population):
            self.population = int(self.population)
        return self.population

Then in your template, instead of 

{{ obj.population }}

You would use this:

{{ obj.get_population }}

You can use the floatformat filter with a negative argument!
