About adding the Euler constant: I agree this should be added. Do you have time to expand your patch to include docs and a test or two? For expm1, I was planning to use the libm function when it exists (which I expect it will on most platforms), and just use a quick hack based on the identity expm1(x) = sinh(x/2)*exp(x/2) for platforms where it's missing. I'll look at the erf and erfc implementations. Daniel: re incomplete beta and gamma functions, I'd prefer to limit this particular issue to the C99 math functions. It's difficult to know where to draw the line, but it seems to me that these are really the domain of numpy/scipy. And they involve multiple input arguments, which makes them *darned hard* to write and test! Anyway, if you'd like to see those added to Python's math module, maybe this could be brought up on python-dev to see how much support there is. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3366> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
