Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I would suggest adding a note to the documentation stating clearly that the parameter should be nonzero. The documentation is also unclear on whether a negative parameter value is permitted, although the current code works exactly the way that I'd expect for a negative parameter.
If a negative parameter is permitted then the last sentence of the docstring: """... Returned values range from 0 to positive infinity.""" is inaccurate, since values range from 0 to negative infinity in that case. If it's not supposed to be permitted then perhaps the docstring should mention that the parameter should be positive? _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4869> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
