Steven D'Aprano added the comment: Off the top of my head, I can think of three APIs:
(1) separate functions, as Nick suggests: mean vs weighted_mean, stdev vs weighted_stdev (2) treat mappings as an implied (value, frequency) pairs (3) take an additional argument to switch between unweighted and weighted modes. I dislike #3, but will consider the others for 3.5. ---------- assignee: -> stevenjd _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20479> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
