I'm interested.  I just had already said my peace and didn't know my
prior interest wasn't being counted.  The patch uploaded by dmmartins
seemed good to me.  I'm probably biased, since this bug affected me.

I hear you on the 2.x to 3.x transition-- I'm not really asking for
mixed-mode arithmetic.  I'd be perfectly happy if float > decimal raised
TypeError, as float + decimal does.

My complaint is that it is silently wrong.

New submission from Jeremy Dunck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Within python 2.5.2:

>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> x = 3.0
>>> y = Decimal('0.25')
>>> x > y
False (expected error, as in 2.4, or True)
