Hi, We have used protocols.datatype.Float because of a limitation of XML-RPC. Actually, XML-RPC can not represent a Decimal, so we used this tip to behave transparently a <double> like a float or a Decimal. But there is some issues in this that will prevent to use the cdecimal version of Decimal. So I propose to drop this tip and to use the same design as for json-rpc which is using a struct for Decimal like this:
{
'__class__': 'Decimal',
'decimal': <value>,
}
This means that external programs need to be adapted to follow this
convention. Any way, I think it is better than using float/double for
Decimal.
By the way, I think we could also do the same for date.
