* bpo-26680: Adds support for int.is_integer() for compatibility with float.is_integer(). The int.is_integer() method always returns True. * bpo-26680: Adds a test to ensure that False.is_integer() and True.is_integer() are always True. * bpo-26680: Adds Real.is_integer() with a trivial implementation using conversion to int. This default implementation is intended to reduce the workload for subclass implementers. It is not robust in the presence of infinities or NaNs and may have suboptimal performance for other types. * bpo-26680: Adds Rational.is_integer which returns True if the denominator is one. This implementation assumes the Rational is represented in it's lowest form, as required by the class docstring. * bpo-26680: Adds Integral.is_integer which always returns True. * bpo-26680: Adds tests for Fraction.is_integer called as an instance method. The tests for the Rational abstract base class use an unbound method to sidestep the inability to directly instantiate Rational. These tests check that everything works correct as an instance method. * bpo-26680: Updates documentation for Real.is_integer and built-ins int and float. The call x.is_integer() is now listed in the table of operations which apply to all numeric types except complex, with a reference to the full documentation for Real.is_integer(). Mention of is_integer() has been removed from the section 'Additional Methods on Float'. The documentation for Real.is_integer() describes its purpose, and mentions that it should be overridden for performance reasons, or to handle special values like NaN. * bpo-26680: Adds Decimal.is_integer to the Python and C implementations. The C implementation of Decimal already implements and uses mpd_isinteger internally, we just expose the existing function to Python. The Python implementation uses internal conversion to integer using to_integral_value(). In both cases, the corresponding context methods are also implemented. Tests and documentation are included. * bpo-26680: Updates the ACKS file. * bpo-26680: NEWS entries for int, the numeric ABCs and Decimal. Co-authored-by: Robert Smallshire <rob@sixty-north.com> |

About ===== _decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library. libmpdec is a fast C library for correctly-rounded arbitrary precision decimal floating point arithmetic. It is a complete implementation of Mike Cowlishaw/IBM's General Decimal Arithmetic Specification. Build process for the module ============================ As usual, the build process for _decimal.so is driven by setup.py in the top level directory. setup.py autodetects the following build configurations: 1) x64 - 64-bit Python, x86_64 processor (AMD, Intel) 2) uint128 - 64-bit Python, compiler provides __uint128_t (gcc) 3) ansi64 - 64-bit Python, ANSI C 4) ppro - 32-bit Python, x86 CPU, PentiumPro or later 5) ansi32 - 32-bit Python, ANSI C 6) ansi-legacy - 32-bit Python, compiler without uint64_t 7) universal - Mac OS only (multi-arch) It is possible to override autodetection by exporting: PYTHON_DECIMAL_WITH_MACHINE=value, where value is one of the above options. NOTE ==== decimal.so is not built from a static libmpdec.a since doing so led to failures on AIX (user report) and Windows (mixing static and dynamic CRTs causes locale problems and more).
