RE: [Pymoney-general] An attempt of implementation.

#- I'm sending two files, which are an attempt to implement my current
#- understanding of the PEP. They're not finished (Currency.distrib
#- and DefaultContext.distrib methods are still to be written,=20
#- I also need
#- to add more tests) and I'm not really sure that all of those

For these early stages, we should only code the test_cases, as to put =
in
black&white our PEP understanding.

Later, when the discussion is settled, we'll code the module itself.

This procedure assure us that we have an explained PEP with examples =
and
detailed cases (the test cases), and we don't do the same work several =
times
(just code money.py when we finish the other step).

However, I did a small check to money.py, and found two big issues:

- We should inheritate decimal.Context, and let it to do all the work, =
we
should only configure it. Or better, just use it, and provide =
getcontext()
and setcontext() methods, and the DefaultContext struct in money.py but =
then
using those from decimal.

- In Currency, we should *use* Decimal, not *inheritate* it.

Anyway, we'll define these when we code money.py, not now, ;)


#- PS. I'm not submitting it to the sf.net patch tracker, should I?

Just test cases in this first stage.

Thank you!
