Python Decimal to String

Question

There are tons of topics on here that explain how to convert a string to a decimal, but how do I convert a decimal back to a string?

Like if I did this:

Answer 1

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'
