Public bug reported:

I just had a look at the decimal module introduced in python 2.4 [1],
and after another glance at the float field.

Is there a reason why we don't use the rounding-agnostic decimal module
instead of the float type?

As far as I can see, only a few lines should be changed, something like
this in fields.py:float

_symbol_f = lambda x: decimal.Decimal(str(x) or '0.0')
