A few random thoughts: If you just want fixed-precision decimal, there may be simpler solutions than using the decimal module. Contrary to popular belief, the decimal module (and decNumber) provides floating-point decimal arithmetic, not fixed-point (though its treatment of exponents means that it can emulate fixed-point arithmetic well). Can you use the ctypes module to wrap the decnumber library? That might be faster than writing a full-fledged extension module. Cython might be useful, too. If you do create your own Python bindings for decnumber, is there any chance you'd be allowed make them public (e.g., on PyPI)? I think there are many people who would find such bindings useful. -- Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
