Hello Olivier,

I have one more doubt about floats: how could I manage this

>>> round(2.675, 2)
2.67

?

I need 2.675 to become 2.68, and python suggests to use decimal for that:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/floatingpoint.html#tut-fp-issues
(this is why I was using decimal in 'l10n_it' too)

Thanks
