Bug Report

Steps to Reproduce:

Run this code in jupyterlab (duckdb version was 0.10.1 but should work on any recent version)

import perspective
import duckdb
import pyarrow as pa
import io

table = duckdb.sql("SELECT 3.14::DECIMAL AS decimal_col, 3.14::FLOAT AS float_col").arrow()
buffer = io.BytesIO()

with pa.ipc.new_file(buffer, table.schema) as writer:
    writer.write_table(table)

bytes_object = buffer.getvalue()

perspective_table = perspective.Table(bytes_object)
perspective.PerspectiveWidget(perspective_table)

Expected Result:

Values should be the same

Actual Result:

Decimal value is deserialized as the internal Arrow representation of a decimal type (an integer)

Environment:

perspective-python 2.10.0 running on Python 3.11, jupyterlab 3.6.5, MacOS 14.4.1.

Additional Context:

I first noticed this issue in the JS package but it was easier for me to create a replicable example in Python.
