> divmod() allows easy emulation of any division rounding mode It could be used that way, but generally isn't. Please consider my original request. Adding a keyword argument is easy, clear, and has almost no mental overhead. It reads very well in code, `y = isqrt(x, 'ceil')` or `y = isqrt(x, 'round')`. The equivalents with isqrt_rem are awkward and don't read well (reminding me of my Fortran days). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46187> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
