Hello the list,
This is my first "real" post on this list. For those that don't know me, I
am the author of relatorio and just like Bertrand and Cédric a former tiny
employee (in fact I am the one to blame for Cédric's hiring at tiny at that
time ;)). I joined b2ck this 1st of January as a shareholder in the company
and as you already saw I made some patches on the client.
I hope you can be blamed for the leaving also ;)
He made that choice himself ;)
But the main reason for this message is to talk about a python module
implementing Decimal computation in C. I saw the cdecimal announce on the
python-announce list, this module is benchmarked to have 12x speedup over
the pure-python version of Decimal and is a drop-in replacement for Decimal.
Did anybody have already used it ? Do you think this library should be
included in trytond ?
cdecimal homepage : http://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/index.html
I support the idea assuming that there would be a fallback to the standard
decimal library if the import of c library raises an ImportError.
This will help deploy Tryton someday (I dont know when that is) in
alternative implementations (like pypy, jyth etc) and also help the
appengine plan - when it has the proposed SQL DB support.
You're right, I forgot to mention that if this module is to be
included then a fallbakc on ImportError will obviously be necessary.
