Storing Dataframes that contain Decimal

[n00bmind]

What's the recommended approach when serializing Dataframes containing columns of Decimal type?

Right now I'm just getting a "can't serialize Decimal" error, so I was thinking of following the approach described in https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-python#packingunpacking-of-custom-data-type and just convert my Decimal to/from strings.

Is this something that will be supported in the future? It seems to me extending support to Decimal types would be very convenient to Pandas users..
