Stefan Krah added the comment: BTW, in _decimal the feature can already be enabled with:
./configure CFLAGS=-DEXTRA_FUNCTIONALITY >>> IEEEContext(DECIMAL128) Context(prec=34, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-6143, Emax=6144, capitals=1, clamp=1, flags=[], traps=[]) >>> IEEEContext(DECIMAL64) Context(prec=16, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-383, Emax=384, capitals=1, clamp=1, flags=[], traps=[]) >>> IEEEContext(DECIMAL32) Context(prec=7, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-95, Emax=96, capitals=1, clamp=1, flags=[], traps=[]) >>> >>> IEEEContext(512) Context(prec=142, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-103079215103, Emax=103079215104, capitals=1, clamp=1, flags=[], traps=[]) >>> IEEEContext(1024) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: argument must be a multiple of 32, with a maximum of 512 >>> Of course this isn't the official API yet, but I think it's reasonable. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8786> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
