The audience for decimal arithmetic isn't capable of implementing it, so the lack of patches is no surprise. The lack of bugs and feature requests is largely explained by that I originally wrote it <wink>. Meaning that it set itself a well-defined task, and did the best possible numeric job within that design from its first release. There were never any bugs, although rounding behavior is something different apps need to do in different ways, and Doug Fort addressed that without going thru the SF bug/patch machinery. > I'll leave it to Tim to explain why he doesn't think this module > should be added to the standard library.

That's been communicated on python-dev and c.l.py multiple times, but, so far, nobody has bit.
