Agreed that getting any substantial change into Python is going to be a bit of pain for anyone with commit access, but I'm don't think getting a C implementation of an existing module in is going to be anywhere near as difficult as getting a whole new library accepted (and one that introduces a new somewhat dodgy C library dependency at that). > I think that the quickest (no pun intended) is to fix it in the adaptor if > possible. Jst my 2c :) Sure. But it would be cool to have a C implementation of Decimal in standard Python. :) Schiavo Simon ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
