['money datatype' for database stored values]
What ist the real problem? Do you have problems converting results of
float calculations to the 'money datatype' before storing them in the
database, or do you want to avoid the precision issues which come with
the conversion od non-integer values between binary and decimal?
In the latter case use the Decimal data type from module decimal (comes
with the python distribution -- it is mentioned in the tutorial).
