Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment:

I think this patch should be applied, on the basis that:

 - the WITHOUT_COMPLEX macro doesn't appear to be documented, or
   linked to any existing configure option

 - there aren't enough developer and/or buildbot cycles to
   keep obscure options like this well tested and maintained

 - building py3k with -DWITHOUT_COMPLEX currently fails anyway

 - the complex type is (slightly) more tightly integrated in
   py3k than in trunk, thanks to PEP 3141:  (-1)**0.5 produces
   a complex result in py3k; in trunk it gives ValueError.

Any objections to getting rid of WITHOUT_COMPLEX?

The patch itself looks fine to me.
