[Python] Why does Decimal() appear in my Python environment but not in others?

My codes below will take in price (e.g. $100.25) and convert it to decimal (100.25)

from decimal import Decimal
from price_parser import Price

def priceToDecimal(amount, precision=2):
parsed_price = Price.fromstring(str(amount)).amount_float
parsed_price = Decimal(parsed_price)
return parsed_price.quantize(Decimal(f"0.{'0' * precision}"))


I use this function to parse a value and put it back into a the dict.

In my python environment, the output dict:

{
"Amount": {
"text": Decimal("249.26")
}
}


In others' python environment, the output dict structure does not contain Decimal():

{
"Amount": {
"text": "249.26"
}
}


Both python environments are using the same python version: 3.10.12

Any idea why it behaves such way?
