Not so. Either way, Python would be providing exactly 10 of the 22 required IEEE 754 comparison operations (see sections 5.6.1 and 5.11 of IEEE 754-2008 for details). If we wanted to move closer to compliance with IEEE 754, we should be providing all 22 comparisons. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11949> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
