I'd be curious to know what alternatives you see. When a user writes `x + y` with both `x` and `y` instances of `decimal.Decimal`, the decimal module needs to know what precision to compute the result to (as well as what rounding mode to use, etc.). Absent a thread-local context or task-local context, where would that precision information come from?
I'm not sure, but my feeling is that if I want to limit results to a specific number of digits, I'm going to want much finer grained control, like specifying it for each individual operation. The current design doesn't fit any use case I can see myself needing. -- 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/6U2UFON6XYMW66AGTFDHJ2LFVVSE3B7F/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
