ISSUES

1. [New comment] TypeError on joining strings with byte array
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33807
User CurtHagenlocher has commented on the issue:

"In IronPython, strings are unicode by default and by design. If you run the same code in Python3 (where strings are also unicode), you'll get basically the same error message."-----------------

2. [New comment] Conversion from Ironpython's Decimal to System.Decimal loses precision.
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/33830
User CurtHagenlocher has commented on the issue:

"I suspect this is an overload resolution issue. decimal.Decimal has conversions to double and int, and System.Decimal has constructors for each of those. If that is indeed the problem, then it could be very hard to change the behavior without breaking something else. A conversion path through double isn't ideal either, of course, as you may end up losing precision there, too. But it's probably the best automatic possibility given that the Python decimal is a pure Python type that IronPython doesn't (and shouldn't) know the details of.

You should be able to manually say System.Decimal(float(decimal.Decimal('12.34'))"
