Sorry... I'm ashamed to submit such awful code in my first post. Let me
try again...
from decimal import Decimal
def dec2long(number):
""" Convert decimal.Decimal to long """
longstring = str(number)
if "e" in longstring:
radix, exponent = longstring.split("e")
elif "E" in
Hello c.l.p.ers :)
Running long(Decimal) is pretty slow, and the conversion is based on
strings. I'm trying to figure out whether there is a good reason for
using strings like in decimal.py (that reason would be bound to bite me
down the road).
This converts Decimal to long and is much faster in m
