Float fields lose precision. Inexact. Approximate. There is no Django field that is arbitrary precision, since database fields that are fixed point require a precision when they're created (in general). You'd have to create your own subfield class that did this for you, I suspect, unless there's some trick I'm overlooking. Alternatively, use an integer field and a precision field and then convert them to a decimal when required (although, again, there's an implicit maximum precision here, since there's limit on the size of the integer field).

Arbitrary precision arithmetic in django
I need to do some Financial calculations in an app in Django. models.DecimalField is fixed precision, while I need an arbitrary precision field.
