FWIW, I agree with this being closed.  The current behavior is a fact-of-life 
for anyone using binary floating point.   

The decimal module is provided people who want more intuitive behaviors when 
dividing by numbers like 0.1 which are exactly representable as a decimal 
fraction but not as a binary fraction.
