No, you just need to use the right syntax. The correct syntax for
converting a string to a Decimal using a context object is to use
the create_decimal() method of the context object:
>>> import decimal
>>> decimal.getcontext().prec = 4
>>> decimal.getcontext().create_decimal("1.234567890")
Decimal("1.235")
Frankly, I have no idea WHAT purpose is served by passing a context
to the decimal constructor... I didn't even realize it was allowed!
