>>> from decimal import Decimal >>> Decimal('+0.0000000000000000000e+19') Decimal('0') >>> Decimal('+0.0000000000000000000e+00') Decimal('0E-19') ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31684> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
