This line looks okay to me; can you say why you think there's a typo here? If it's the 'sign = 0' part that's bothering you, that's just a peculiarity of Decimal: the stored sign value is 0 for positive numbers, 1 for negative numbers, which I agree is a little counterintuitive. (Think of the sign as analogous to the sign *bit* in an IEEE 754 floating-point number.) Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
