Tim Peters <t...@python.org> added the comment:
Python needs a benevolent dictator ;-) I'd be happy for Mark, Raymond, or me to play that role here. If it were me, I'd drop the k <= n requirement: both arguments must be non-negative integers. Because a combinatorial (not factorial-, and certainly not gamma-, based) definition of `comb()` is best suited for Python's general audience, and "number of ways to pick k things out of n without regard to order" makes clear sense for any pair of non-negative k and n. But anything beyond that does not. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
