Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: (1) Perhaps I missed the relevant part in the spec, so I had to check what decNumber does: In the default context, clamp is 0, in the extended contexts, it is 1. So Python's ExtendedContext should indeed set _clamp to 1.
(2) I agree about the importance of the formats, and I think they should be explicitly selectable like here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/math/class-use/MathContext.html The current ExtendedContext is a bit of a vague concept, since it should be exactly one of DECIMAL32, DECIMAL64 or DECIMAL128. And none of these has prec=9. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8540> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
