Stefan Krah <stefan-use...@bytereef.org> added the comment:
This is a very loosely related issue, but I think it fits in here.
To be consistent with the documentation, the three argument power
should use the ideal exponent:
>>> c = getcontext()
>>> c.prec = 400
>>> Decimal('1E400') % Decimal('1123123E5')
Decimal('8.45074E+10')
>>> pow(Decimal('1E400'), 1, (Decimal('1123123E5')))
Decimal('84507400000')
