It does. From http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/daops.html#refpower : "If both operands are zero, or if the left-hand operand is less than zero and the right-hand operand does not have an integral value[7] or is infinite, an Invalid operation condition is raised, the result is [0,qNaN], and the following rules do not apply." I'm hoping that this will change with the next update of the standard. Mark -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
