Stefan Krah added the comment: It would be possible to translate strings to integers; the infrastructure is already there for pickling. The decision not to do that was actually deliberate: Up to now no one has requested string constants for rounding modes and I *suspect* that there's a performance penalty even though I didn't measure it.
See Modules/_decimal/_decimal.c:1211 for the code that would need to be called each time something like this occurs: context.rounding = ROUND_UP ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16422> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
