Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Raymond,
Do you think it would be worth replacing the two uses of conditional expressions in Decimal.from_float with if-else statements? Alex Goretoy pointed out (on c.l.p) that the trunk version of decimal.py can no longer be imported into Python 2.4 (and 2.3). I don't know how much this matters, but it seems to go against the comments about 2.3 compatibility at the top of decimal.py. I admit that I don't really understand the motivation for these comments, or whether they're still relevant 4 versions on from Python 2.3. Of course, from_float still won't work with earlier versions of Python, but having one Decimal method unavailable seems like a lesser crime than making 'import decimal' fail. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4796> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
