Decimals to 2 places for money in Python 3

Question

How do I get my decimals to stay at 2 places for representing money using the decimal module?

I\'ve setting the precision, and damn near everything else

Answer 1

>>> decimal.getcontext().prec = 2
>>> d = decimal.Decimal('2.40')
>>> d/17
Decimal('0.14')

You just have to set the precision to 2 (the first line) and them everything will use no more than 2 decimal places

Just for comparison:

>>> 2.4 / 17
0.1411764705882353
