New submission from Andrew Barnert: In a recent thread on python-ideas (https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-January/030817.html), it was concluded that Python should not have a range-like type for floats in the stdlib, but there should be some simple discussion of the alternatives in the docs.
The attached diff describes the issues, demonstrates the simplest reasonable algorithm, and links to a recipe on ActiveState (which builds the same algorithm into a lazy sequence, and links to other recipes with different alternatives). ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: stdtypes.rst.diff keywords: patch messages: 233893 nosy: abarnert, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add float linspace recipe to docs type: enhancement versions: Python 3.5 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file37684/stdtypes.rst.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23226> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
