Complex numbers from the number domain |C which supersets |R. Complex numbers are usually implemented and viewed as 2d vectors made from two floating numbers real and img. A long or long int however is from number domain |Z which doesn't allow fraction and hence no '.', too. It should explain why 1.L is illegal but 1.j is 1.0 * 1j. > .. however, fixing this is not necessary - because no one would > probably use it, it's just a syntax inconsistency I don't if it's possible to fix the problem with Python's parser. However the inconsistency should be documented. Is it explained in the docs and do the docs also mention the (1).__attr__ trick? I wasn't aware that it works.
