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.  

I use a slightly different approach to chop unwanted zeroes ...

def chop_zeros(val):

    if isinstance(val, decimal.Decimal):

        return float(val)

    return val

... which I call for *all* numeric values before I do any string formatting. Which is why it works for me.
