Just to close this thread - I used the following code and now things are formatting properly -

bmpPress = bmp280.read_pressure()/1000
Pressin = bmpPress* .29530
print 'Pressure = \t{0:0.2f} in'.format(Pressin)

The pressure being read in as an integer not a floating point number. So you have to convert it hence divide by 1000.
Help provided by a knowledgeable local friend -

And I was repeating the same from the start...
