Mark Dickinson <dicki...@gmail.com> added the comment: The IEEE 754-2008 description of scaleB makes a lot more sense, IMO: scaleB(x, N) is simply x*10**N (assuming that B=10 and N is integral), rounded in the usual way.
The restriction in the specification seems arbitrary and questionable. Presumably it's intended to aid implementation in low-level languages. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7048> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
