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.
