Re: Proposal to change default float type to decimal

I don't claim to know much about numerics but it sounds cool to me. 
Perhaps you should write it up on the wiki and ask Tim Peters, Aahz and 
other Python people to comment on it.

I never use floating point in real software so it wouldn't matter to me 
except as a bragging and training point. My only concern would be 
whether there are performance issues.
