The behaviour is deliberate, if unfortunate: it's covered in the documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#decimal-objects - see the paragraph starting > There are some small differences between arithmetic on Decimal objects > and arithmetic on integers and floats. When the remainder operator % is > applied to Decimal objects The issue is that the decimal spec specifies "divide-integer" and "remainder" operations. We've chosen to map those operations to "%" and "//" for convenience, even though there's a difference between float and Decimal here. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42936> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
