Re: [Python-Dev] Rounding Decimals

During the discussion about the new Rational implementation (http://bugs.python.org/issue1682), Guido and Raymond decided that Decimal should not implement the new Real ABC from PEP 3141. So I've closed http://bugs.python.org/issue1623 and won't be pursuing any of the extra rounding methods mention
