It maybe just me, but I kind of think that if my models says decimal(10, 2) it means that I don't want to store more than 2 places... Since my models should behave like the database table and column as they are just an abstraction of the later...
I know web2py offer alot of granularity control and flexibility over all this aspect, but I feel that there is a missing component to handle this particular aspect (rounding and enforcing "length" of numeric fields).
