Does decimal make this:
4.1 + 0.1
produce 4.2 instead of 4.19999999999998?
Yes, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/decimal.html#module-decimal.
If you're talking about literal 4.1 and literal 0.1 in the code, then no.
It would be:
from decimal import Decimal
print(Decimal('4.1') + Decimal('0.1'))
There have been suggestions in the past to add a suffix, e.g. 4.1d +
0.1d, given that the 'decimal' module is in the stdlib.
