Pretend this were the itertools module and you were responding to someone suggesting a new optional argument to one of its functions. You have tons of experience rejecting those, and much the same arguments apply, from "not every one-line function needs to be built in" to "in seventeen centuries this is the first time someone asked for it" ;-) Seriously, the only complaint I've seen about isqrt() before is that there isn't a version that raises an exception if the argument isn't a perfect square. That's so niche I wouldn't support adding that to the core either. Sure, sometimes that's what someone may want, and that's fine - they can do it on their own. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46187> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
