Well, for numbers it surely would be a nice touch, wouldn't it. May be the reason for Decimal to accept float arguments is that irrational numbers or very long rational numbers cannot be converted to a Decimal without rounding error, and Decimal doesn't want any part of it. Seems pointless to me, though. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
