Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Note that log2(int) -> float wouldn't entirely replace numbits, due to loss of precision in the result.
e.g. log2(2**100), log2(2**100+1) and log2(2**100-1) would likely all return exactly the same result (100.0), where numbits wants results of 101, 101 and 100 respectively. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3724> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
