Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment: Deprecate on the grounds that it is slow in decimal.py or the InvalidOperation issue?
I think pure integer arithmetic with the decimal type always requires attention from the user, since in many functions one has to check for Rounded/Inexact in order to get meaningful results. Here one has to check for InvalidOperation, so I don't think it's a big deal. (This is also the reason that I don't find the inconsistencies that you listed particularly bothersome.) If slowness is the reason: If any C module makes it into Python, this would not be an issue any longer. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7049> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
