That's one of the reasons that a simple solution of "make JSONEncoder respect decimal.Decimal" was rejected - it would require that the json module import decimal, which is extremely costly.
I don't follow that -- importing Decimal is a one-time cost, so it's not going to affect the time to parse large amounts of data. Also it could be done lazily in response to a use_decimal flag, in which case the import will only happen if other parts of the program are already using Decimal, so the import won't cost any more in startup time. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/VL224S7Z2NSE2EM2L74VU3D5XW6NDJ2L/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
