Both IEEE-754 floats and Decimals support signed zeroes, that is -0.0 and 0.0 are two distinct (but equal) values.
(There is only one int zero: -0 and 0 are the same value.) Signed Decimal zero should always be available. What about signed float zero? Are there any platforms where Python is available that don't support signed zeroes? -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
