New submission from Yury Selivanov: Right now decimal.py defines 'ROUND_DOWN' as 'ROUND_DOWN' (string), whereas C version define it as 1 (integer).
While using constant values directly in your code is not a good idea, there is another case where it doesn't work: if you serialize decimal values along with their meta information, such as rounding settings. In this case, when you unserialize data that was serialized with python decimal, those meta-settings won't work for 'c' decimal. ---------- messages: 175024 nosy: skrah, yselivanov priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Decimal constants should be the same for py & c module versions type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16422> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
