Raymond Hettinger <rhettin...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
This should probably be discussed somewhat that all the numpy/numeric folks can see it (since they likely comprise the largest group of users of complex numbers). Also note that any changes to representations tend to break peoples doctests. Those are particularly susceptible to this change because of people using whole numbers for hand entered test inputs. FWIW, Octave starts with 2+4j style formatting but if either component has a decimal, then both switch 2.1000 + 4.000j. My own tastes prefer the current form, but I would probably adapt quickly. ---------- nosy: +rhettinger _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5858> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
