You are probably using Python 2.x, where division of two integers gets rounded result. Try to specify at least one number as float, e.g. print("{:.4f}".format(333.0/106)) or print("{:.4f}".format(float(333)/106)).

Try the following code:

pi = 3.1415926
precision = 4
print( "{:.{}f}".format( pi, precision ) )
