Well, then I something misunderstood in PEP 0: --->8------ If changes based on implementation experience and user feedback are made to Standards track PEPs while in the Accepted or Provisional State, those changes should be noted in the PEP, such that the PEP accurately describes the state of the implementation at the point where it is marked Final. ---->8-------- I don't think that PEP describes the state of art in the decimal module. > Possibly the decimal documentation could be updated, though. The current behaviour is documented. Do you mean we should document disagreement with PEP as well? Regarding mail thread: I don't think that following the PEP will slow down string conversion. Also, probably we want that strings that supported by float() and Decimal() were interchangeable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44267> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
