Tal Einat added the comment: @Stefan K.: I tend to agree, but still think that's a separate issue. math.isclose() certainly shouldn't be checking the type of its arguments.
While we're on the subject, though, trying to convert a very large int to float fails with an OverflowError. Perhaps Decimal should do the same? >>> float(10**999) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: int too large to convert to float >>> math.isclose(10**999, 10**400000) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> OverflowError: int too large to convert to float ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24270> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
