Guido van Rossum added the comment: Also (the tracker email interface swallowed this):
> it is possible to want a type that can be used as an index or slice but that > is still not a number I'm sorry, but this requirement is absurd. An index *is* a number. You have to make up your mind. (I know, in the context of the example that started this, this is funny, but I still stand by it.) --- Finally, the correct name should perhaps have been __integer__ but I don't see enough reason to change it now. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19995> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
