Re: [Pyobjc-dev] Lion and pyobjc 2.2b3 Decimal compares with NSDecimalNumber compare goes in endless recursive call..

Just for those googling for answers:,

I can also add that

from PyObjCTools.Conversion import fromPythonDecimal

Does this conversion for you from Decimal To NSDecimalNumber.

Code is located at:

pyobjc-framework-Cocoa/Lib/PyObjCTools/Conversion.py
