That block of examples was completely mis-formatted.. it should
really be like this:
getcontext().prec = 6
Decimal('3.0') # Decimal("3.0") [precision will be
# applied after an operation, e.g. addition]
Decimal('3.1415926535') # Decimal("3.1415926535")
Decimal('3.1415926535') + Decimal('2.7182818285') # Decimal("5.85987")
I fixed it now, thanks for the report!
