I'd like to turn over the organization of the VM and Python Language
Summits at PyCon 2010 to someone else, one or two people. (The same

Why: in November PyCon will be three months away, so the guest list

Hi,
as some of you know, recently I've released an arbitrary precision
C library for decimal arithmetic together with a Python module:
http://www.bytereef.org/libmpdec.html

Both the library and the module have been tested extensively. Fastdec

ok - but that pretty much exists..
If you can persuade everyone to accept a format which ignores clearly
