umm. doesn't the appendix say "six significant digits" for the conversion factor, and "rounding to not less than three decimal places" for intermediate results, and "rounded up or down to the nearest cent" for the result? where did you get 5 decimal places and no rounding from? (and your original assertion was "if you're dealing with money at all", which isn't necessarily the same thing as "if you're doing roundtrip conversions between the euro and non-euro european currencies on amounts larger than a 1000 billion or so" ;-) </F> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
