Question

In my project I’m asking the user for some measures, prices and weights. I want to store data as a two decimal value. I guess I should be using DecimalField instead of FloatField, because I don’t need much precision.

When I print values in my templates, I don’t want zero non significant decimals to be printed.

Examples:

10.00 should show simply 10

10.05 should show 10.05

I don’t want to use floatformat filter in every template I display the value, too many places. So I was wondering if there is some way to affect the value rendered for all the application, in a centralized manner.

Thanks
