Re: [Python-ideas] Consider making Decimal's context use PEP 567

Wow, that's awesome! I didn't notice that when I checked. It seemed like context had to be passed in. If it were me, I would probably deprecate those context=None arguments now that we have such a clean solution. On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 5:32 PM Nathaniel Smith wrote:

Decimal could just pull its Context object from a context variable rather than having to pass it in to all functions. This would be similar to how numpy works.

Decimal has always used a thread local context the same way numpy does, and in 3.7 it's switching to use a PEP 567 context:
