Christopher Barker added the comment: Sorry for the confusion:
when I wrote the PEP, I was thinking in terms of a Python, duck-typed implementation. Now that it's in C, that doesn't work so well. I will update the PEP to indicate that it is float-only, or complex for the cmath implementation (thanks, Tal!). Any other type will be converted to float if possible, with the limitations that that has. As for Decimal -- the "right" thing to do would be to do a native Decimal implementation -- but that would live in the decimal module, maybe as a method on the Decimal type. (or stand alone -- not sure) Fraction doesn't have the same precision issues as floats, so not sure what the point is. ---------- _______________________________________ 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
