Remember that you have one context per thread. All the decimal instances in a thread share the same context. This was specified by Aahz, the list agreed, and get into the PEP. Do you want to change it?

Correction for precision: all Decimal operations in a thread use the same context until the context is changed. Threads inherit context from their starting thread (I think).
