Nice. From what I can see it is licensed under LGPL, so, if a port occurs that would have to carry the same license too. Another implementation is also found in the Python 2.4 standard library as the Decimal class (which is where I got the idea). I know Python is released under BSD'ish license, so I would prefer porting from that instead, that way a later re-licensing to, say SISSL, could be done if that's desirable.
