Nothing. It should be taken care of in the float implementation
without needing another module to fix it.
Having to convert my float to a string to get a correct representation of
it
is indeed awkward.
>>> Decimal(1.0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/decimal.py", line 578, in __new__
"First convert the float to a string")
TypeError: Cannot convert float to Decimal. First convert the float to a
string
A strange error, but I agree it is required for the module to work...!
Does numpy take care of these issues ?
