The only slightly awkward thing with this (for high-precision decimals) is the quadratic conversion (well, okay, perhaps subquadratic depending on what algorithms are being used, but still ...) required to get from the decimal coefficient to a Python integer, and vice versa. It may be better to use a (byte)string of digits instead of a Python integer for the coefficient. |
