Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I can't really see a compelling reason to make this change---it seems like an unnecessary complication to add to what's currently a simple function. Someone who really needs the accuracy can just use log10. Perhaps a note in the documentation for log suggesting this would be useful.
I guess this solution seems insufficiently general: why 'fix' log(x, 10) but not log(x, 2), for example? OTOH, a two-argument log that was guaranteed correctly rounded (or accurate to within 1ulp) for *all* bases would certainly be of interest! But that's a fairly major project... _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3724> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
