def quantize(value,arg=None):
	"""
	Takes a float number (23.456) and uses the
	decimal.quantize to round it to a fixed
	exponent. This allows you to specify the
	exponent precision, along with the
	rounding method.
		
	Examples (assuming value="7.325"):
	{% value|quantize %} -> 7.33
	{% value|quantize:".01,ru" %} -> 7.33 (this is the same as the default behavior)
	{% value|quantize:".01,rd" %} -> 7.32
	
	Available rounding options (taken from the decimal module):
	ROUND_CEILING (rc), ROUND_DOWN (rd), ROUND_FLOOR (rf), ROUND_HALF_DOWN (rhd),
	ROUND_HALF_EVEN (rhe), ROUND_HALF_UP (rhu), and ROUND_UP (ru)
	
	Arguments cannot have spaces in them.
	
	See the decimal module for more info:
	http://docs.python.org/library/decimal.html
