Summary: Decimal sqrt() ignores rounding
Initial Comment:
Decimal Contexts' sqrt() method exhibits the same
rounding behavior irregardless of the rounding parameter.
>>> c = decimal.Context(rounding=decimal.ROUND_CEILING)
>>> f = decimal.Context(rounding=decimal.ROUND_FLOOR)
>>> cs =
decimal.Context(rounding=decimal.ROUND_CEILING, prec=14)
>>> fs = decimal.Context(rounding=decimal.ROUND_FLOOR,
prec=14)
>>> c.sqrt(D(2))
Decimal("1.414213562373095048801688724")
>>> f.sqrt(D(2))
Decimal("1.414213562373095048801688724")
>>> cs.sqrt(D(2))
Decimal("1.4142135623731")
>>> fs.sqrt(D(2))
Decimal("1.4142135623731")
It appears to always round up.

The rounding setting in the context is not used, always uses
the round-half-even algorithm, as specified in the Decimal
Specification (see
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/daops.html#refsqrt).
