Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I guess another approach might be to change the math module so that all its functions support franctions (and decimal, and other esoteric number types). But that would require having __log__ and many others as methods on the numeric types. Personally I wish we had kept the math module for C doubles (Python floats) only -- I fear that it has become a mash-up of such functions with random other things people may remember from their high school math classes such as factorial(). This is just asking for misunderstandings like this. :-( ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42886> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
