New submission from Joshua Bleecher Snyder <joshar...@gmail.com>: When Python is compiled on OS X with llvm, the decimal module behaves erratically (simple calculations are wrong, most doctests fail). This was originally reported here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7590137/dividing-decimals-yields-invalid-results-in-python-2-5-to-2-7 and the compiler dependency was tracked down here: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/31444 Although it looks like MacPorts is going to force use of gcc, it'd still be better for Python to behave correctly when compiled with llvm.
