New submission from Retro <vinet...@gmail.com>: The Python interpreter should have the decimal type built into its core. The mechanism for dealing with decimal numbers should be handled by the decimal type and not by the processor which spits binary floats. The time is now. But ask yourself these questions:
Is this doable? If yes: Would it break anything? If yes, note that: Python 3.1 opposed to Python 3.0 also had major changes that break the two appart. I say go for revolutional change in Python 3.2. But the call is yours. ---------- components: Interpreter Core messages: 95668 nosy: Retro, gvanrossum severity: normal status: open title: Make decimal floating point be default, remove binary floating point type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7389> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
