Maybe. The IBM standard doesn't seem to say whether other Unicode digits should be accepted or not. Is there a quick way to convert a general Unicode digit to its ascii equivalent? Having to run str(int(c)) on each numeric character sounds painful, and the Decimal constructor doesn't need to be any slower right now. In any case, this potential problem with decimal has now been identified, and is easy to deal with. I'm more worried, perhaps needlessly, about what other unidentified problems might be lurking deep in the standard library. Any use of '\d', '\w', '\s', etc. might potentially be a problem.
