Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I would rather drop it than see that mess.
FWIW, there is a difference. Rational(Decimal(...)) takes place without reference to a decimal.Context and is always lossless. In contrast, Decimal(Rational(...)) is context sensitive (the division is subject to rounding and precision limits) and is typically lossy as would be the case with Decimal(Rational(1, 3)) which like most rationals cannot be exactly represented in Decimal. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1682> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
