PS: this beahviour seems odd already:
decimal.getcontext().abs(1)
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/Users/mwh/Source/python/dist/src/Lib/decimal.py", line 2321, in abs return a.__abs__(context=self) TypeError: wrapper __abs__ doesn't take keyword arguments
couldn't/shouldn't the context methods do a _convert_other (of the erroring out kind) of their arguments?
You'll have to ask Facundo that one - it never occurred to me to question it until looking into the __rop__ behaviour :)
But I do agree - if nothing else, the _convert_other gives a far more meaningful error message when things do go wrong.
Cheers, Nick.
