Hello,
the subject says it all. PyUnicode_EncodeDecimal() is listed among
the deprecated functions. In cdecimal, I'm relying on this function
for a number of reasons:
* It is not trivial to implement.
* With the Unicode implementation constantly changing, it is nearly
impossible to know what input is currently regarded as a decimal
digit. See also:

"The API won't go away (it does have its use and is being
used in 3rd party extensions) [...]"
