Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: The problem is that the Decimal *was* supported in 2.7. So this issue can be considered not as adding new feature, but as fixing a regression. But changes are too large for just bugfix.

I think the end user is responsible to set an appropriate context if it want to create a datetime from Decimal timestamp. At least until we add functions that return Decimal. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23607> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
