decimal - Skaperen - Jan-13-2017
you can convert float to decimal but you can't divide a decimal by a float. anyone know why that is?

Why do you want to divide decimal to float? If you need a precision try gmpy2

just initializing some decimal.Decimal values and one of them needed to be a ratio of another, initially, and that ratio was a float even though its actual value was whole, initially, e,g rat = 5.0, so foo = foobar/rat failed and foo = foobar/decimal.Decimal(rat) got around it.
