the encoding of a Decimal instance is always canonical, so this operation\n\

compare_total(other, context=None) - Compare two operands using their\n\

compare_total_mag(other, context=None) - Compare two operands using their\n\

is_canonical() - Return True if the argument is canonical and False otherwise.\n\
Currently, a Decimal instance is always canonical, so this operation always\n\
returns True.\n\

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_is_finite,"\n\
is_finite() - Return True if the argument is a finite number, and False if the\n\

logb(context=None) - For a non-zero number, return the adjusted exponent\n\
of the operand as a Decimal instance. If the operand is a zero, then\n\
Decimal('-Infinity') is returned and the DivisionByZero condition is\n\
raised. If the operand is an infinity then Decimal('Infinity') is returned.\n\

(logical) operands.\n\

quiet NaN and the other is numeric, the numeric operand is returned.\n\

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_max_mag,"\n\
max_mag(other, context=None) - Similar to the max() method, but the\n\
comparison is done using the absolute values of the operands.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_min,"\n\
min(other, context=None) - Minimum of self and other. If one operand is a\n\
quiet NaN and the other is numeric, the numeric operand is returned.\n\

next_plus(context=None) - Return the smallest number representable in the\n\
given context (or in the current default context if no context is given) that\n\
is larger than the given operand.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_next_toward,"\n\
next_toward(other, context=None) - If the two operands are unequal, return\n\
the number closest to the first operand in the direction of the second operand.\n\
If both operands are numerically equal, return a copy of the first operand\n\
with the sign set to be the same as the sign of the second operand.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_normalize,"\n\
normalize(context=None) - Normalize the number by stripping the rightmost\n\
trailing zeros and converting any result equal to Decimal('0') to Decimal('0e0').\n\
Used for producing canonical values for members of an equivalence class. For\n\
example, Decimal('32.100') and Decimal('0.321000e+2') both normalize to the\n\
equivalent value Decimal('32.1').\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_number_class,"\n\
number_class(context=None) - Return a string describing the class of the\n\
operand. The returned value is one of the following ten strings:\n\
\n\

\n\
    >>> Decimal('1.41421356').quantize(Decimal('1.000'))\n\
    Decimal('1.414')\n\
\n\
Unlike other operations, if the length of the coefficient after the quantize\n\
operation would be greater than precision, then an InvalidOperation is signaled.\n\
This guarantees that, unless there is an error condition, the quantized exponent\n\
is always equal to that of the right-hand operand.\n\
\n\
Also unlike other operations, quantize never signals Underflow, even if the\n\
result is subnormal and inexact.\n\
\n\
If the exponent of the second operand is larger than that of the first, then\n\
rounding may be necessary. In this case, the rounding mode is determined by the\n\
rounding argument if given, else by the given context argument; if neither\n\
argument is given, the rounding mode of the current thread's context is used.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_radix,"\n\
radix() - Return Decimal(10), the radix (base) in which the Decimal class does\n\
all its arithmetic. Included for compatibility with the specification.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_remainder_near,"\n\
remainder_near(other, context=None) - Return the remainder from dividing\n\
self by other. This differs from self % other in that the sign of the\n\
remainder is chosen so as to minimize its absolute value. More precisely, the\n\
return value is self - n * other where n is the integer nearest to the exact\n\
value of self / other, and if two integers are equally near then the even one\n\
is chosen.\n\
\n\
If the result is zero then its sign will be the sign of self.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_rotate,"\n\
rotate(other, context=None) - Return the result of rotating the digits of the\n\
first operand by an amount specified by the second operand. The second operand\n\
must be an integer in the range -precision through precision. The absolute\n\
value of the second operand gives the number of places to rotate. If the second\n\
operand is positive then rotation is to the left; otherwise rotation is to the\n\
right. The coefficient of the first operand is padded on the left with zeros to\n\
length precision if necessary. The sign and exponent of the first operand are\n\
unchanged.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_same_quantum,"\n\
same_quantum(other, context=None) - Test whether self and other have the\n\
same exponent or whether both are NaN.\n\
\n\
This operation is unaffected by context and is quiet: no flags are changed\n\
and no rounding is performed. As an exception, the C version may raise\n\
InvalidOperation if the second operand cannot be converted exactly.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_scaleb,"\n\
scaleb(other, context=None) - Return the first operand with the exponent\n\
adjusted the second. Equivalently, return the first operand multiplied by\n\
10**other. The second operand must be an integer.\n\
\n");

shift(other, context=None) - Return the result of shifting the digits of\n\
the first operand by an amount specified by the second operand. The second\n\
operand must be an integer in the range -precision through precision. The\n\
absolute value of the second operand gives the number of places to shift.\n\
If the second operand is positive, then the shift is to the left; otherwise\n\
the shift is to the right. Digits shifted into the coefficient are zeros.\n\
The sign and exponent of the first operand are unchanged.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_sqrt,"\n\
sqrt(context=None) - Return the square root of the argument to full precision.\n\
The result is correctly rounded using the ROUND_HALF_EVEN rounding mode.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_to_eng_string,"\n\
to_eng_string(context=None) - Convert to an engineering-type string.\n\
Engineering notation has an exponent which is a multiple of 3, so there\n\
are up to 3 digits left of the decimal place. For example, Decimal('123E+1')\n\
is converted to Decimal('1.23E+3').\n\
\n\
The value of context.capitals determines whether the exponent sign is lower\n\
or upper case. Otherwise, the context does not affect the operation.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_to_integral,"\n\
to_integral(rounding=None, context=None) - Identical to the\n\
to_integral_value() method. The to_integral() name has been kept\n\
for compatibility with older versions.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_to_integral_exact,"\n\
to_integral_exact(rounding=None, context=None) - Round to the nearest\n\
integer, signaling Inexact or Rounded as appropriate if rounding occurs.\n\
The rounding mode is determined by the rounding parameter if given, else\n\
by the given context. If neither parameter is given, then the rounding mode\n\
of the current default context is used.\n\
\n");

PyDoc_STRVAR(doc_to_integral_value,"\n\
to_integral_value(rounding=None, context=None) - Round to the nearest\n\
integer without signaling Inexact or Rounded. The rounding mode is determined\n\
by the rounding parameter if given, else by the given context. If neither\n\
parameter is given, then the rounding mode of the current default context is\n\
used.\n\
