Comment:
What happens inside `floatformat` when evaluating
`decimal.getcontext().prec = 2 ; floatformat(1.23456789123, 2)` is
equivalent to this:
{{{
>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.getcontext().prec = 2
>>> d = decimal.Decimal('1.23456789123')
>>> exp = decimal.Decimal('0.01')
>>> d.quantize(exp, decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/decimal.py", line 2358, in quantize
'quantize result has too many digits for current context')
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/decimal.py", line 3778, in _raise_error
raise error(explanation)
decimal.InvalidOperation: quantize result has too many digits for current
context
}}}
At this point, `floatformat` eats the exception and just returns the
original value without truncating the decimal part.
