New submission from Ian Kelly:

>>> '{:g}'.format(D('0.000001'))
'0.000001'

Formatted with '{:e}', the exponent would be -6, so per the formatting rules 
described under the 'g' specifier at 
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language
 the above should be formatted using exponential notation.
