We currently reject Python decimal instances and require the user to manually convert to Decimal128. We should investigate why we have this approach and consider encoding Python decimal instances by default.
>>> bson.encode({"d": decimal.Decimal('1.0')})
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-7>", line 1, in <module>
encode({"d": decimal.Decimal('1.0')})
~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
File "/Users/shane/git/mongo-python-driver/bson/__init__.py", line 1053, in encode
return _dict_to_bson(document, check_keys, codec_options)
bson.errors.InvalidDocument: Invalid document {'d': Decimal('1.0')} | cannot encode object: Decimal('1.0'), of type: <class 'decimal.Decimal'>
