Global decimal rounding options in Django

Question

Decimal numbers are by default rounded very unexpectedly, in order to make it work normally, it is needed to use ROUND_HALF_UP option.

Answer 1

For django project can work setting decimal.DefaultContext (py3, py2).

This context is most useful in multi-threaded environments.

This is my code from settings.py:

import decimal
# Set global decimal rounding to ROUND_HALF_UP (instead of ROUND_HALF_EVEN).
project_context = decimal.getcontext()
project_context.rounding = decimal.ROUND_HALF_UP
decimal.DefaultContext = project_context

Worked in 1.10. Based on my answer in this question.
