[After a long delay, the thread continues....] Hi All,
I'm pushing ahead on the tasks necessary to add the 'fcponst' module described in PEP 754: IEEE 754 Floating Point Special Values. Per http://www.python.org/psf/contrib, I've - Changed the license to the Apache License, Version 2.0 - Just faxed the "Contributor Agreement" to the PSF I've also - created a patch on sourceforge.net for fpconst code and documentation (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1151323&group_id=5 470&atid=305470) I will need help connecting the included test functions into the python test suite. What else needs to be done to allow fpconst to go into the Python library? -Greg > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Peters [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, December 10, 2004 1:43 PM > To: Warnes, Gregory R; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [Python-Dev] Re: PEP 754 > > > [Warnes, Gregory R] > > Hi David & Tim, > > > > First, I really like to see this go forward.
