#- Make hash(Decimal('123.1')) == hash(Decimal('123.1')) .. there is no

I'm pretty sure that those two hash will return the same value, as long have the same argument (?).

#- hash(float(1.0)) == hash(Decimal(1)) comes for free, because #- hash(float(1.0)) == hash(1). For the few other non-integer numbers #- that can be accurately represented as floating point, it might make #- sense to keep the same property? Though I suppose that is pretty #- what-the-heck-does-C-do specific, so I wouldn't blame anyone if this #- property couldn't be maintained.

OK, so I won't promise it.
