New submission from Sep Dehpour <sep...@zepworks.com>:
Floats and Decimals have inconsistent exponent notation formatting:
>>> '{:.5e}'.format(Decimal('2.0001'))
'2.00010e+0'
>>> '{:.5e}'.format(2.0001)
'2.00010e+00'
This is causing issues for us since we use the scientific notation formatted
string of numbers to compare them. Between decimals and floats, one produces
'+0' while the other one produces '+00'
