I'd call it an enhancement opportunity rather than a bug. :-) There's no general Python-wide requirement that an instance of numbers.Integral should be acceptable anywhere an int is (though I agree that it's a nice property to have in general). But as it happens, math.gcd _does_ accept instances of numbers.Integral, since any such instance should implement the __index__ method to convert itself to a plain old int, and math.gcd passes its arguments through PyNumber_Index. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
