Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: I'd say not. If people want `log` base 2 or 10, they should use the appropriate functions.
One potential numeric issue here is maintaining monotonicity. If we swap out libm `log` calls for `log2` calls for some inputs, we not only make the code more complicated, but also risk breaking monotonicity. So -1 from me on the special casing. I'd be very happy with exposing exp2 in the math library, but that's a separate issue. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31980> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
