Sorry... I'm ashamed to submit such awful code in my first post. Let me
try again...
from decimal import Decimal
def dec2long(number):
""" Convert decimal.Decimal to long """
longstring = str(number)
if "e" in longstring:
radix, exponent = longstring.split("e")
elif "E" in longstring:
radix, exponent = longstring.split("E")
else:
radix, exponent = [longstring, "0"]
floatexp = long(len(radix.split(".")[1]))
floatish = Decimal(radix) * 10L**floatexp
ftol = long(floatish)
longexp = long(int(exponent) - floatexp)
return ftol * 10L**longexp
This one should run by itself, is more readable and... still smells bad
:(
Sorry again.
