By design, almost all Decimal operations (but not creation of a Decimal from an integer or string) round to the precision given by the current context. By default that precision is 28 significant digits. See the documentation, particularly the quick-start tutorial, http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html#quick-start-tutorial for more information, including how to change the default precision. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson resolution: -> invalid status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7630> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
