Python 2.6: >>> cmath.asin(2.0) (1.5707963267948966+1.3169578969248166j) >>> cmath.asin(2.0+(+1E-300j)) (1.5707963267948966+1.3169578969248166j) >>> cmath.asin(2.0+(-1E-300j)) (1.5707963267948966-1.3169578969248166j) Python 2.5: >>> cmath.asin(2.0) (1.5707963267948966-1.3169578969248166j) >>> cmath.asin(2.0+(+1E-300j)) (1.5707963267948966+1.3169578969248164j) >>> cmath.asin(2.0+(-1E-300j)) (1.5707963267948966-1.3169578969248166j) I used -1E-300j to get value that is almost a negative complex zero. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4139> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
