Shouldn't these beasts compare equal? It seems like it, although I don't think they were ever intended to be used side-by-side. cdecimal isn't part of the standard library and is supposed to be a drop-in replacement. As of CPython 3.3, the decimal module *is* cdecimal.
Got it, thanks. I have a feeling that "conda install pyodbc" snuck cdecimal in without me noticing. When I saw that the value disputed as "Decimal('2226.84')" I imported the decimal module. It took awhile to figure out I wasn't dealing with identical modules. Skip -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
