Greatly embarrassed, and thanks for clarifying. Will be more careful when answering next time :-)

Well, Erik.  I appreciate you answering even if it wasn't 100% accurate.  

But to post the solution to the issue, just for completeness. 

Yes, Django does store the field contents as decimal.Decimal objects.  In your templates or if writing out to a file (as I need to do) you need to use the formatting option. 

Example using the previously used model field:

str('%.10g' % self.min_inclusive).strip()

  

This removes all non-significant zeros. So it gives me '0' for a zero.
