I really like the approach of a custom internal type for the mantissa storage (the module containing would probably best be called _decimal). Then it should be possible to focus on letting C do what it does best (high speed arithmetic) and Python do what it does best (provide the nice API and context management features) ---------- title: Consider using bytes type instead of str to store Decimal coefficients -> Decimal slowdown in 3.0 due to str/unicode changes __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2486> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
