IMO, python should use the decimal for default.
.25 is right for Decimal(".25").
isn't that better?

I wonder if we should have some special syntax for decimals: maybe
[$.25, $.10, $.05, $.01]
That would even fit in with decimals being used for financial quantities.

you may use the decimal module which was introduced in Python2.4
>>> from decimal import *
>>> li = [Decimal(".25"), Decimal(".10"), Decimal(".05"), Decimal(".01")]
>>> print li
[Decimal("0.25"), Decimal("0.10"), Decimal("0.05"), Decimal("0.01")]
>>>
