[issue20502] Context.create_decimal_from_float() inconsistent precision for zeros after decimal mark

[Mauricio de Alencar]

Mauricio de Alencar added the comment:

String formatting is completely unaware of the concept of *significant digits*. The only format that can get it right for every case is the 'e'. But then you always get the exponent, which is undesirable. I was hopeful that the decimal module would handle significant digits as I need.

I will settle with the workaround I posted earlier.

Thanks anyway.
