I'm going to repeat part of an earlier comment :-) """ Please resist pointless feature creep. The original report was about comb(n, k) for integer n and k with 0 <= k <= n and that's all. Everyone who commented appeared to agree they'd find that useful. """ Why can't we take universal agreement for an initial answer? ;-) Looking at what other packages do doesn't really interest me, unless they differ on the cases everyone agreed would be useful - they have different audiences than Python has. Guess what Wolfram returns for (-4) choose (-5) Go ahead. That's right: -4. Sheesh - I don't care who their audience is, _any_ code calling `choose` with those arguments would be far better served if the function complained. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35431> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
