David MacIver added the comment: I'm not sure what you mean by float having a limit here. It's certainly finite precision, but there is still a representable value with that finite precision closest to the mean.
As an example where there is an obvious correct answer that will trigger this error: statistics.mean([sys.float_info.max, sys.float_info.max]), this should return sys.float_info.max (which is definitely representable!), but instead raises this overflow error. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25177> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
