Information for package python2-cdecimal:
-----------------------------------------
Repository : Main Repository
Name : python2-cdecimal
Version : 2.3-bp153.1.14
Arch : x86_64

Installed Size : 410,9 KiB
Installed : No

Source package : python-cdecimal-2.3-bp153.1.14.src
Summary : Faster drop-in replacement for Python's "decimal" module
Description :
The python-cdecimal package is a faster drop-in replacement for the decimal
module in Python's standard library for Python version above 2.4 and below 3.3.
It provides a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal
Arithmetic Specification.
Since cdecimal is compatible with decimal, the official documentation is valid:
http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
For the few remaining differences, see:
http://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/doc/cdecimal/index.html
Please note: cdecimal has been integrated into CPython 3.3, where it supersedes
the pure Python version. If you need maximum decimal performance, you should
use that Python version.
