The Decimal type in Python is a true radix-10 floating point type.
Early versions were written in Python but later versions are
implemented in C. 64-bit binary values are converted exactly by
creating a result with 53 decimal digits of precision. If an
representation error is introduced when the 64-bit value was created,
it will be propagated to the Decimal value.

Support for the GMP, MPFR, and MPC libraries are provided by gmpy2
library which I maintain.
