Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: It might also help to note that, with decimal, what you see (from repr() of a Decimal instance) is *exactly* what you get. So when you see
>>> dec Decimal('1.797693134862315907729305191E+308') that number really is exactly what's stored in dec: there are no 'hidden' digits waiting to appear. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7630> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
