Martin v. Löwis <mar...@v.loewis.de> added the comment: As Amaury explains, it's called float because it *is* a floating point type.
It is not a double type, as it is not two types, but only a single one :-) In 2.x, the "int" type was also represented with a C long, yet the type called "long" was not represented with longs but with shorts. ---------- nosy: +loewis resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6427> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
