I always found the "use int(abs(z))" part of that message odd,
as well. As Georg points out, there are many possible ways that
one might want to convert complex to int; it seems strange to
give advice for one particular one when that may well not match
what th
Georg Brandl added the comment:
That no unambiguous conversion between complex and int is defined is
exactly the reason for this error message. You could want the absolute
value, the real part, the imaginary part, or even the polar angle...
int(abs(z)) works as intended, giving you the absolut

Hi, I noticed that when trying to convert with the int() function a
complex number the exception error says "use int(abs(z))". I think that
insted it should say "use int(z.real)" because if I want to convert
1j**2 to int using the abs method, the result is 1 positiv
