Ilan Schnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The factorial function is most likely to be used in context with other combinatorial functions (like binomial coefficients) for these functions an external module seems most appropriate. Most likely people would use a factorial function only for some small toy calculation, for those cases one can always roll a factorial function oneself. Python should therefore not be cluttered with this function. I discussed this with several developers at PyCon08, and have therefore decided to close the discussion for now.
