New submission from Mauricio de Alencar:

The following code demonstrates an inconsistency of this method in dealing with 
zeros after the decimal mark.


from decimal import Context

context = Context(prec=2)

for x in [100., 10., 1., 0.1]:
    print(context.create_decimal_from_float(x), 
context.create_decimal_from_float(4.56*x))


Produces the output:
1.0E+2 4.6E+2
10 46
1 4.6
0.10 0.46

Line 3 is inconsistent. It should be "1.0 4.6".
