You're making this sound a lot more complicated than it is. The problem is simple: Decimal doesn't integrate with the numeric tower. This is explicit in the PEP that brought in the numeric tower: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3141/#the-decimal-type
http://bugs.python.org/issue20481 now covers the concerns over avoiding making any guarantees that the current type coercion behaviour of the statistics module will be preserved indefinitely (it includes a link back to the archived copy of Oscar's post on mail.python.org).
