Hi, I was wondering if there are any tricks around to do some sort of changing types, float in particular. I do many operations like summing etc on lots of floats and always have to do some extra checks where results are heading 0.0, like round(n,10) for example. My idea was to tell python in some way not to take the type float but decimal in an implicit fassion. It that possible ?
And, is it still true for python 2.4/2.5 that one needs to do a = Decimal(str(aFloat)) instead of a = Decimal(aFloat) as it is in python 2.3 ? And, at least, has some tried to link (lib)python against tc_malloc and benchmarked it ? Thx in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
