python2-cdecimal

Faster drop-in replacement for Python's "decimal" module

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.
