Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: Just to say, I'm a bit uncomfortable with a patch this large going into a release candidate. It's all code that's been backported from 2.7, so it *should* be okay, but I really don't want to be responsible for breaking 2.6.2.
The test failure that Skip reports *is* due to a bug, but the bug is platform-specific (only affects x86 platforms where the math library doesn't have isinf or isnan---in practice, that's only Solaris/x86), and it's a bug in a somewhat obscure corner case (overflow in cmath.acosh) that's not likely to affect many people. I don't think the (small, I hope) risk of breaking a release candidate is worth the (even smaller, IMO) benefit from fixing this bug. If Skip confirms that the patch works, I'd suggest that it can wait for 2.6.3. Assigning back to Barry for pronouncement. ---------- assignee: marketdickinson -> barry _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5724> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
