What do we do with Decimal? Aren't we committed to matching the Decimal standard,
It's been pointed out that the Decimal standard only defines some abstract operations, and doesn't mandate that they be mapped onto any particular language syntax. That gives us enough flexibility to make == do what we want and still claim compliance with the standard. BTW, does IEEE754 give us the same flexibility? If so, we may not have much of a problem in the first place. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
