# This module is currently Py2.3 compatible and should be kept that way
# unless a major compelling advantage arises.  IOW, 2.3 compatibility is
# strongly preferred, but not guaranteed.

# Also, this module should be kept in sync with the latest updates of
# the IBM specification as it evolves.  Those updates will be treated
# as bug fixes (deviation from the spec is a compatibility, usability
# bug) and will be backported.  At this point the spec is stabilizing
# and the updates are becoming fewer, smaller, and less significant.

"""
This is a Py2.3 implementation of decimal floating point arithmetic based on
the General Decimal Arithmetic Specification:

    www2.hursley.ibm.com/decimal/decarith.html

and IEEE standard 854-1987:

    www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ejr/projects/754/private/drafts/854-1987/dir.html

Decimal floating point has finite precision with arbitrarily large bounds.

The purpose of the module is to support arithmetic using familiar
"schoolhouse" rules and to avoid the some of tricky representation
issues associated with binary floating point.  The package is especially
useful for financial applications or for contexts where users have
expectations that are at odds with binary floating point (for instance,
in binary floating point, 1.00 % 0.1 gives 0.09999999999999995 instead
of the expected Decimal("0.00") returned by decimal floating point).

Here are some examples of using the decimal module:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> setcontext(ExtendedContext)
>>> Decimal(0)
Decimal("0")
>>> Decimal("1")
Decimal("1")
>>> Decimal("-.0123")
Decimal("-0.0123")
>>> Decimal(123456)
Decimal("123456")
>>> Decimal("123.45e12345678901234567890")
Decimal("1.2345E+12345678901234567892")
>>> Decimal("1.33") + Decimal("1.27")
Decimal("2.60")
>>> Decimal("12.34") + Decimal("3.87") - Decimal("18.41")
Decimal("-2.20")
>>> dig = Decimal(1)
>>> print dig / Decimal(3)
0.333333333
>>> getcontext().prec = 18
>>> print dig / Decimal(3)
0.333333333333333333
>>> print dig.sqrt()
1
>>> print Decimal(3).sqrt()
1.73205080756887729
>>> print Decimal(3) ** 123

>>> inf = Decimal(1) / Decimal(0)
>>> print inf
Infinity
>>> neginf = Decimal(-1) / Decimal(0)
>>> print neginf
-Infinity
>>> print neginf + inf
NaN
>>> print neginf * inf

##### Setup Specific Contexts ################################

# The default context prototype used by Context()
# Is mutable, so that new contexts can have different default values

        Emin=-999999999,

# Pre-made alternate contexts offered by the specification
# Don't change these; the user should be able to select these
# contexts and be able to reproduce results from other implementations
# of the spec.

##### Useful Constants (internal use only) ####################

#Reusable defaults

#Infsign[sign] is infinity w/ that sign
Infsign = (Inf, negInf)

NaN = Decimal('NaN')
