With _pydecimal the memory also grows very slowly (I didn't have the patience to wait for MemoryError). I'm pretty sure decNumber also does the same, it's just easier to implement and does not slow down division for small numbers. libmpdec always favors precisions from roughly 9-34 digits whenever there's a potential performance issue. The only thing I could imagine is to special-case, say, prec > 10000. ---------- nosy: +skrah _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39576> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
