[New-bugs-announce] [issue6795] decimal.py: minor issues && usability

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

Hi,

a couple of minor issues:

1:
>>> c = getcontext()
>>> c.traps[InvalidOperation] = False
>>> Decimal("NaN").__int__()
Decimal('NaN')

I think the return value should be None.


2:
>>> c = getcontext()
>>> c.traps[InvalidOperation] = False
>>> Decimal("NaN").__long__()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp


3:
>>> setcontext(8)
>>> getcontext()
8

This is just a usability issue, perhaps a type check could be performed.
