Hi,
I'm wondering if it would be OK to change the procedure code before
execution. I'm thinking about adding magically an import at the beginning
of a function.
Currently numeric arguments passed to the procedure are converted into
floats. This is not good, as it causes loss of information.
The proposed solution in code comment is "maybe use a string?".
I'm thinking about something else. We could convert it into Decimal (
http://docs.python.org/2/library/decimal.html) class in Python.
Unfortunately this class requires import like `from decimal import Decimal`
from a standard Python library.
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to do it like this. It shouldn't
fail even with the trusted version of pl/python, as I'd rather see the
trusted version to allow importing packages from standard library.
regards,
Szymon
