I agree with Raymond's comments, except that because I'm sometimes a bit of a pedant, I have to make one minor correction: max and min can be descriptive statistics. The sample minimum is the 1st order statistic, and the sample maximum is the N-th order statistic: https://www2.stat.duke.edu/courses/Spring12/sta104.1/Lectures/Lec15.pdf This doesn't invalidate the rest of what Raymond says. Yoni Lavi, thank you for the suggestion, but I'm going to close this ticket. If you think you have a really strong argument for the feature, please feel free to make it here, and we will rethink the closure. But I don't want to give you false hope: it would have to be a very strong argument. ---------- resolution: -> rejected stage: patch review -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
