10.4 decimal
地址：http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
Decimal支持大多数的数学操作。使用decimal的时候是在一个context背景下工作的。可以使用getcontext来获得当前背景：
from decimal import *
c = getcontext()
print c
结果：
Context(prec=28, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-999999999, Emax=999999999, capitals=1, flags=[], traps=[Overflow, InvalidOperation, DivisionByZero])
使用Decimal，int类型可以直接用来构造Decimal，但是float类型的变量要先转换为字符串。在进行运算之后结果会使用getcontext().prec来确定精度，例如prec为5的时候，100.1234567890+0会等于100.12：
# -*- coding: cp936 -*-
from decimal import *
con = getcontext()
print '-----------------------context------------------------'
print con
a = Decimal(100)
print a
b = Decimal('100.001')
print b
print '--------------------------prec------------------------------'
c = Decimal('100.1234567890')
print c
con.prec = 5
print con
d = Decimal('100.1234567890')
print 'd:',d
print 'd+0:',d+0
结果：
>>>
-----------------------context------------------------
Context(prec=28, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-999999999, Emax=999999999, capitals=1, flags=[], traps=[DivisionByZero, InvalidOperation, Overflow])
100
100.001
--------------------------prec------------------------------
100.1234567890
Context(prec=5, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-999999999, Emax=999999999, capitals=1, flags=[], traps=[DivisionByZero, InvalidOperation, Overflow])
d: 100.1234567890
d+0: 100.12
可以修改Context来改变Decimal运算的行为，例如精度、如何舍弃位数等等。例如下面的程序测试各种rounding设置对结果的影响：
# -*- coding: cp936 -*-
from decimal import *
con = getcontext()
con.prec = 5
print '-----------------------context------------------------'
print con
s = '100.005'
strs = [
'100.005',
'100.004',
'-100.005',
'-100.004',
]
round_methods = [
ROUND_CEILING,
ROUND_DOWN,
ROUND_FLOOR,
ROUND_HALF_DOWN,
ROUND_HALF_EVEN,
ROUND_HALF_UP,
ROUND_UP,
ROUND_05UP,
]
for method in round_methods:
con.rounding = method
print '----------------------------', con.rounding, '----------------------------'
for s in strs:
print ' %s+0:' % s, Decimal(s)+0
结果：
>>>
-----------------------context------------------------
Context(prec=5, rounding=ROUND_HALF_EVEN, Emin=-999999999, Emax=999999999, capitals=1, flags=[], traps=[DivisionByZero, Overflow, InvalidOperation])

文档里有一个将Decimal转换为现金格式的函数：

places: required number of places after the decimal point
curr: optional currency symbol before the sign (may be blank)

only specify as blank when places is zero
pos: optional sign for positive numbers: '+', space or blank
neg: optional sign for negative numbers: '-', '(', space or blank
trailneg:optional trailing minus indicator: '-', ')', space or blank
>>> d = Decimal('-1234567.8901')
