As a user, I would find Mark's suggestion very confusing, accepting non-integral floats but not non-integral Decimals and Fractions. I agree that ideally it should accept only integral inputs, including floats, but deprecating the behavior for non-integral floats has been deemed out of scope for this issue. Therefore I suggest doing the same for Decimal and Fraction: accept them but raise a ValueError if their values aren't non-negative integers. At a later point we could deprecate this behavior for all non-integer types of numbers. Another alternative, which is also more acceptable IMO, is to raise TypeError if given anything other than an int or a float, while deprecating floats altogether. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
