Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Mark Dickinson (marketdickinson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Fix Decimal.sqrt bugs described in #1725899 Initial Comment: This patch fixes a number of (yet-to-be-confirmed-as-) bugs in Decimal.sqrt(); see bug report 1725899 for details of these. As a side benefit the modified version of Decimal.sqrt() runs significantly faster than the original, since it's based on integer arithmetic instead of carrying out Newton's method entirely in decimal; on my iBook G4 the speedup is between 20 and 25 times with the default precision. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1741308&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
