It might be good to even go a step further, and make it "amath" (or "numbers.math", or ...), a type-agnostic math module. Such a module would likely be slower than math, cmath, or "dmath", but should end the proliferation of math modules. -- Zach -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
