int(round(x))
Will round it and change it to integer
EDIT:
You are not assigning int(round(h)) to any variable. When you call int(round(h)), it returns the integer number but does nothing else; you have to change that line for:
h = int(round(h))
To assign the new value to h
EDIT 2:
As @plowman said in the comments, Python's round() doesn't work as one would normally expect, and that's because the way the number is stored as a variable is usually not the way you see it on screen. There are lots of answers that explain this behavior:
round() doesn't seem to be rounding properly
One way to avoid this problem is to use the Decimal as stated by this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15398691/4345659
In order for this answer to work properly without using extra libraries it would be convenient to use a custom rounding function. After a lot of corrections, I came up with the following solution, that as far as I tested avoided all the storing issues. It is based on using the string representation, obtained with repr() (NOT str()!). It looks hacky but it was the only way I found to solve all the cases. It works with both Python2 and Python3.
def proper_round(num, dec=0):
num = str(num)[:str(num).index('.')+dec+2]
if num[-1]>='5':
return float(num[:-2-(not dec)]+str(int(num[-2-(not dec)])+1))
return float(num[:-1])

>>> print(proper_round(2.0005,3))

4.0

5.0
Finally, the corrected answer would be:
# Having proper_round defined as previously stated
h = int(proper_round(h))
EDIT 3:
Tests:
>>> proper_round(6.39764125, 2)
6.31 # should be 6.4
>>> proper_round(6.9764125, 1)
6.1 # should be 7
The gotcha here is that the dec-th decimal can be 9 and if the dec+1-th digit >=5 the 9 will become a 0 and a 1 should be carried to the dec-1-th digit.
If we take this into consideration, we get:
def proper_round(num, dec=0):
num = str(num)[:str(num).index('.')+dec+2]
if num[-1]>='5':
a = num[:-2-(not dec)] # integer part
b = int(num[-2-(not dec)])+1 # decimal part
return float(a)+b**(-dec+1) if a and b == 10 else float(a+str(b))
return float(num[:-1])
In the situation described above b = 10 and the previous version would just concatenate a and b which would result in a concatenation of 10 where the trailing 0 would disappear. This version transforms b to the right decimal place based on dec, as a proper carry.
