What do you mean by 'displays as 15.0'? Do you print in with the print 
statement? If your DB access module returns decimal.Decimal instances, 
then you are right. It should print as 15.00 instead of 15.0. Try to 
determine the type of the returned value. Maybe your DB module uses 
float instead of Decimal?
