Summary: len(str(x)) in decimal.py is not Python 2.3 compatible

Initial Comment:
One of the stated goals of decimal.py is to remain 2.3
compatible.

This is not currently the case, as the len(str(x))
trick I used to determine the 'number of digits in an
integer' gives the wrong answer for long integers in
Python 2.3 (there is an extra 'L' on the end).
