.. _Decimal:

Decimal

A parameter for floating-point values (stored in the Decimal type).

Python Decimal type helps overcome problems tied to plain "float" type, e.g. problem with representation or value comparison. In order to safely transfer the value over RPC libraries, it is being converted to string which is then converted back to Decimal number.
