#- after reading the announcement I also read the "highlights" within 
#- http://www.python.org/2.4/highlights.html
#- 
#- Under headline
#- 
#-   New or upgraded built-ins
#- 
#- there is 
#- 
#- decimal - a new numeric type that allows for the accurate 
#- representation of 
#- floating point numbers (avoiding the problems of binary 
#- floating point) 
#- (PEP 327)
#- ...
#- Am I wrong with this information?

You're right, decimal belongs to the standard library.

Thanks for pointing it. I'll follow this until is fixed.
