It's not in 2.3a2. I assume Raymond couldn't make time for it. I tried to, but didn't get beyond submitting a doc patch to the SF fixedpoint project. Staring at the code there, it became clear to me that it would consume more time than I thought it would to finish it (e.g., the proliferation of gimmicks to play with subclasses wasn't in the original, and offhand struck me as a wrong thing to do; the mechanism for changing rounding mode also seemed as thread-hostile as anything could be; and I still don't have time to argue about it). At this point, given that it would consume real time to finish, if I had that time I'd rather devote it to moving Aahz's project along for 2.4.

I ran out of time before 2.3a2 but expect to get to it in this week. Raymond Hettinger
