Decimal zero padding

Question

I need to output decimal numbers in a price format,

i.e.

10 = 10.00 11.1 = 11.10

How can I achieve this using decimal.Decimal class ?

pad_zero(Decimal('10.0'))
>>>Decimal('10.00')

*EDIT:*format method does not fit my need because I need to pass it on as decimal, I understand though, that i can convert it back to afterwards, but such to-and-fro seems somewhat unpythonic.

Answer 1

try this :

Decimal('10.0').quantize(Decimal('1.00'))
