Er, the point is for them to _not_ have different semantics. A decimal storage format would simply be an optimization for a fraction whose denominator is a power of 10 (or of 2 and 5) The semantics of the current Decimal class are those of an inexact number. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
