Python Decimal to String

Use the string format function:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> d = Decimal("0.0000000000000123123")
>>> s = '{0:f}'.format(d)
>>> print(s)
0.0000000000000123123

If you just type cast the number to a string it won't work for exponents:

>>> str(d)
'1.23123E-14'

Use the str() builtin, which:

Returns a string containing a nicely printable representation of an object.

E.g:

>>> import decimal
>>> dec = decimal.Decimal('10.0')
>>> str(dec)
'10.0'
