Perhaps using SQLite's column affinity would help? Let the type be named
"real" instead of anything fancy:

Hi,
Sorry. I don't get this.
I am using numbers to 2dp (it doesn't really matter that it's money or
not) and importing them into SQLite where all the views are held. One
of the columns is doing the following calculations:
([actual_price]-[recommended_price]) AS [difference]
([actual_price]-[recommended_price])/[recommended_price] AS
[difference_proportion]
When using a SQLite gui like SQLiteManager I can see the imported data
is stored correctly and the column has been calculated correctly. So
I'll have something like:
[actual_price],[recommended_price],[difference],
[difference_proportion]
199.99,299.99,-100.00,-0.343344445
100.00,120.00,-100.00,-0.16666667
However, when calling the view from pysqlite I get the following
results
199.99,299.99,-100.00,-0.34
100.00,120.00,-100.00,0
So the row where both numbers have no decimal fraction are changing to
an integer. I looks like there is something going on in between sqlite
and pysqlite.
