sigmavirus24, 1 month ago I'm not normally a fan of Debian but they just axed Stefan's mpdecimal so I'd say today is a good day for Debian. No one needs that asshat around or involved unnecessarily

glyph, 1 month ago @sigmavirus24 wait does that mean debian’s python will be missing the decimal module? Is there an alternative to libmpdec yet?

sigmavirus24, 1 month ago @glyph cpython has they're own that's not mpdec

danzin, 1 month ago @sigmavirus24 I think what @glyph means is Python vendors libmpdec, will that also be axed or just the standalone version? "Python’s _decimal module (adapted from cdecimal in version 3.3) is a wrapper around libmpdec." https://www.bytereef.org/mpdecimal/index.html "_decimal.c is a wrapper for the libmpdec library." https://github.com/python/cpython/tree/3.12/Modules/_decimal

danzin, 1 month ago @sigmavirus24 @glyph Ah, the reason for the removal is " No longer required for cpython", so I guess that means _decimal stays. https://tracker.debian.org/news/1518602/removed-251-2-from-unstable/ https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/mpdecimal

sethmlarson, 1 month ago @danzin @sigmavirus24 @glyph Maybe there's some misunderstanding, this might be referencing the specific version of mpdecimal? I think CPython still needs mpdecimal, we just upgraded to 4.0.0 and are making further updates easier by unvendoring: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/115119
