[New-bugs-announce] [issue7278] decimal.py: New instance vs. new reference

[Stefan Krah]

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

In the following case, Decimal() and int() behave differently. I wonder
if this is intentional:

>>> from decimal import *
>>> x = Decimal(2)
>>> y = Decimal(x)
>>> id(x) == id(y)
False
>>> 
>>> x = int(2)
>>> y = int(x)
>>> id(x) == id(y)
True
>>>
