I agree, that's why I say '[double] comes with its gotchas':
http://spyne.io/docs/reference/model.html#spyne.model.primitive.Double.
I'm going to make that text clearer though.
But if the user wants to use this, hey, it's in the XML Schema spec, we
can't stop them.
What do you think?
yeah it's all well and good... i definately wouldnt put too much time
into it since it's pretty much acceptably broken across all of Python.
the only thing i would suggest is rather than enabling for py2.6 only,
do a couple tests to see if Decimal is reliable, say:
if not (
Decimal('inf') == float('inf') and
Decimal('-inf') == float('-inf') and
Decimal('inf') > float('0') and
Decimal('-inf') < float('0')
):
[...]
...since some people say 2.6 works, others say it doesn't, etc etc...
since it all depends on the users hardware, keying off Python version
will be hit-or-miss at best.
