Rather that complicating the Context constructor, I'd prefer a separate factory function. I was thinking of something like: def IEEEContext(n): """Return the decimal<n> IEEE 754 context. n should be a multiple of 32.""" ... Again, it's clear with this that you get a new context object (I agree that there are problems with (1) and the mutability of Contexts). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
