New submission from Steven D'Aprano: math.isfinite currently raises ValueError when given a Decimal sNAN (signalling NAN).
I've run into a situation where I'm calling isfinite() on a numeric value which may be a Decimal sNAN, and it would be nice if it returned False. On the other hand, see the discussion on issue 15544, which possibly leads to the conclusion that raising ValueError is the right thing to do. http://bugs.python.org/issue15544 Either way, behaviour should be documented. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 196213 nosy: docs@python, stevenjd priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: math.isfinite fails with Decimal sNAN type: behavior versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18841> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
