.. method:: compare(other[, context])
- Compare the values of two Decimal instances. This operation behaves in
- the same way as the usual comparison method :meth:`__cmp__`, except that
- :meth:`compare` returns a Decimal instance rather than an integer, and if
- either operand is a NaN then the result is a NaN::
-
- a or b is a NaN ==> Decimal('NaN')
- a < b ==> Decimal('-1')
- a == b ==> Decimal('0')
- a > b ==> Decimal('1')
