I'm attempting to create a FixedPointCol that's essentially a DecimalCol except that it returns a FixedPoint (which I prefer to Decimal) instead of a float type in its from_python method. My basic problem is that I want to do fixed point arithmatic in accounting applications, and floats present the usual rounding problems.
My problem is that I can't figure out how to get the column definition's ``precision'' attribute. How does one get the Col attributes within the Validator methods? Another question is whether it's possible to reference the to_python and from_python methods without affecting the database. I'm writing curses based data entry routines where it would be useful to address these, say in a search screen where there's no specific database record.
