[SQLObject] Decimal type support

[Carlos R. <car...@gm...>]

Hello all,


I just downloaded & installed the decimal module (the same from Python
2.4) for Python 2.3. I know that SQLObject has a DecimalCol type. I've
tried to check the code that actually fetches decimal values from the
DB, but I got a little bit lost on SQLObject internals at this point.
I trie to grep for Decimal and found only a few references, so I
assume it's not full implemented yet.

What I want to do is to make sure that the get & set methods for the
decimal columns returns the appropriate Decimal type, if it's
installed on the system, instead of a float. I assume that this is to
be done somewhere with the fromPython/toPython validators, but I'm
still trying to figure out where to put my code into. Any help (and
experiences with Decimal) will be great.
