From: Tim Peters Date: Thu Sep 19 14:20:22 2002 To: python-list@python.org Subject: RE: monetary applications [was: Python GUI app to impress the bos s?] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------About http://starship.python.net/crew/aahz/FixedPoint.py If someone is willing and able to do the work (sorry, I can't make time for it), Guido will accept this into the standard library for 2.3. It's a small, self-contained, pure Python module; it's been in use for a few years with no bugs reported; and is unencumbered by any license (a lawyer has told me that an individual in the USA cannot meaningfully disclaim copyright, so fine, the copyright I didn't want is hereby transferred to the PSF ). What work remains: + Write docs for the Library Reference manual. I expect the existing module docstring will be a good start. + Create a test driver for Python's regression suite. + Have fun modernizing it, if you like (for example, "/" should be changed to "//" where integer division is intended; playing with __slots__ may yield some nice savings; whatever). This should be a fun and comparatively easy task -- if you ever wanted to get your name into the ACKS file, here's one way to do it without tithing you income directly to Guido . although-tithing-saves-me-time-ly y'rs - tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list www.
