I guess that could work. One other thing: the docs for the trunk seem to suggest that we should be using trunc here, rather than int. I'm looking at: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/stdtypes.html#numeric-types-int- float-long-complex and particularly the note (2), that says of int(x) and long(x): "Deprecated since version 2.6: Instead, convert floats to long explicitly with trunc()." _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3439> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
