The Django DecimalField is “…represented in by a python Decimal instance.” You might try:

>>> obj.fieldName = Decimal("0.85")

Behavior may also vary depending on the database backend you are using. With sqlite, I am able to assign string values to DecimalFields in new and existing objects without error.
