Category: Python Library Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Keith Briggs (kbriggs) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: expm1 and log1p Initial Comment: Could we please have expm1 and log1p interfaced in the math module (where these exist in libm)? These are essential for any serious mathematical applications. lgamma would be nice too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2005-03-14 12:39 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Hard one, since none of those functions are required by the C89 standard, Python doesn't require more than C89, and the math module overwhelmingly consists of thin wrappers around the platform C's implementations. When C99 is universally available, then it will be easy. Before then, someone would have to volunteer non-trivial work (for example, Microsoft's C runtime doesn't supply any of these -- it's a x-platform mess). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1163139&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
