>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal("-$123,456.78")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "C:\python25\lib\decimal.py", line 2325, in _raise_error
raise error, explanation
decimal.InvalidOperation

offending arg:
>>> float("-$123,456.78")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): -$123,456.78

>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.Decimal("-$123,456.78")
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
decimal.InvalidOperation: Invalid literal for Decimal: '-$123,456.78'
>>>
