my needs are similar to this:
dec_value= myvalue
dec_value.setPrecision(2)
do some stuff
print dec_value.getPrecision()
and it gives me "2"
Hi!
I'm not sure what you mean by arbitrary precision. I thought, according to your original post, that you wanted the totals (for V.A.T. needs) to be shown with 2 digits after the float point (decimal point, or virgula). This is exactly what this little program does (and it rounds the numbers to 2 significant float (decimal) places, it doesn't matter if the number is shorter or longer than that):
So if you introduce 24, the program prints 24.00 €,
if you introduce 24.3, the program prints 24.30 €,
if you introduce 24.35, the program prints 24.35 €,
if you introduce 24.375, the program prints 24.38 €.
