Noam Raphael added the comment: If I were in that situation I would prefer to store the binary representation. But if someone really needs to store decimal floats, we can add a method "fast_repr" which always calculates 17 decimal digits.
Decimal to binary conversion, in any case, shouldn't be slower than it is now, since on Gnu it is done anyway, and I don't think that our implementation should be much slower. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1580> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
