declaimed the following in comp.lang.python:
It seems to me that rather than allowing this to happen, comparasion
between the two should either be made correct (by convertion decimal
to float e.g.) or f

There are 2.0 types of programmers: those who always use floating point,
and those who know how to use them.

Sorry, it should rather be:

Hi,
It seems decimal object will always be larger than float in
comparasion, which goes against common sense:
>>> from decimal import Decimal
>>> a = Decimal('0.5')
>>> a > 9
False
>>> a > 9.0
True
It seems to me that rather than allowing this to happen, comparasion
between the two shoul
