Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Raymond: what are your thoughts on deprecating the ability of `math.factorial` to accept a float (as in `math.factorial(5.0)` -> `120`)?
For me, I'm not sure I see the value of the deprecation. It's the usual story: the answer to "Knowing what we know now, should we have done this differently in the first place" is "Probably, yes". But "Should we change the current behaviour" is a very different question. I'm tempted to see the acceptance of integral floats as a harmless quirk, and the deprecation of that behaviour as a case of gratuitous breakage. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33083> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
