After some digging, I believe this is the background on forking pieces of mpdecimal (and why the existing source copy inside Python doesn't count as a fork): https://bugs.python.org/issue45708#msg405895 https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/29438 If I understand correctly, the PR for supporting underscore separators in Decimal formatting is only taking control of generating a mpd_spec_t from the spec string. Formatting itself is still done by mpd_qformat_spec(). So there's outstanding work to also pull the formatting code itself into _decimal.c. (And this is wanted anyway to reconcile existing libmpdec formatting modifications: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/298131a44896a4fec1ea829814ad52409d59aba5) And this is all because vendors have the crazy practice of unbundling libmpdec from Python. (If a project is bundling the source of another, there may be some reason...?) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45995> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
