Aha! yes, you figured it out. My PYTHONPATH env variable had an old experiment in it, which happened to be called numbers.py. Take it out, and decimal.py works fine.
Python has a large test suite in Lib/test, which includes test_decimal.py. It is run daily on several machines, and must pass before any release. So a gross failure like an import failure is very likely due to a local cause.

What does the following output for you?: import numbers print(numbers.__file__) print(dir(numbers))
These are good test steps for any gross module failure. -- Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
