In developing fixed-point applications, it is convenient to define functions
to handle the :meth:`quantize` step::
def mul(x, y, fp=TWOPLACES):
return (x * y).quantize(fp)
def div(x, y, fp=TWOPLACES):
return (x / y).quantize(fp)
>>> def mul(x, y, fp=TWOPLACES):
... return (x * y).quantize(fp)
>>> def div(x, y, fp=TWOPLACES):
... return (x / y).quantize(fp)
>>> mul(a, b) # Automatically preserve fixed-point
Decimal('325.62')
>>> div(b, a)
