The v2 patch does not work for me: regression tests for plpython fail on the plpython_types test: every numeric is converted to None.
It seems the global decimal ctor is not initialized. Please find two patches, to be applied on top of the v2 patch: one initializes the decimal ctor, the other uses cdecimal when possible. Using the performance test from steve, on my machine: - with cdecimal installed: ~84ms - without cdecimal installed (standard decimal module): ~511ms 2013/6/26 Szymon Guz <mabew...@gmail.com> > On 26 June 2013 01:40, Steve Singer <st...@ssinger.info> wrote: > >> On 06/25/2013 06:42 AM, Szymon Guz wrote: >> >> >> >>> Hi, >>> >>> I've attached a new patch.
