Nick, did you try the test cases with this modification?
Yep - and I was pleasantly surprised when they all passed with -udecimal, too.
My implementation is a bit hackish though - if this gets fixed for real, it should be possible to devise something that doesn't trample all over performance like I'm sure the version I linked to does.
Anyway, I've put the question to python-dev if you'd like to chime in over there. It's still your module after all :)
Regards, Nick.
