Imri, I don't think the 3.0 model for cross-type comparisons can be backported without breaking code, so it probably isn't going to happen. The whole purpose of the 3.x series was to allow improvements that weren't backwards compatible. Mark, this raises a question for us. Now that we have decimal.from_float(), we do have a means of making exact comparisons between decimals and floats. While I think cross-type interaction is generally a bad idea, the 2.x way of doing things already gives an answer (though somewhat useless). What are your thoughts on making Decimal('0.80') < float('0.75') do the right thing in the 2.x series so that the answer that is given won't be flat-out wrong. ---------- assignee: -> marketdickinson nosy: +marketdickinson, rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2531> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
