This ensures that very small numbers (e.g., 1e-200) are formatted as
0.000...

Branch description
This PR fixes an issue in
django/utils/numberformat.py
where very small decimals were displayed in exponential notation when adecimal_pos
argument was supplied. With the proposed change, such numbers are correctly formatted as0.00...
with the specified precision.Example:
nformat(Decimal('1e-200'), '.', decimal_pos=2)
->1.00e-200
nformat(Decimal('1e-200'), '.', decimal_pos=2)
->0.00
The change introduces a cutoff mechanism that checks whether the number is too small to be represented with the provided decimal positions, and formats it as
0.00...
accordingly.Checklist
