The example is correct and runs as expected:

>>> Decimal(3.14)
Decimal('3.140000000000000124344978758017532527446746826171875')

Per the Whatsnew3.2 document:
'''
The decimal.Decimal constructor now accepts float objects directly so there in no longer a need to use the from_float() method (issue 8257).
