Hear, hear. My proposal: only cache positive 0.0. My prediction: biggest bang for the buck, nobody's code will break. On platforms that don't distinguish between +/- 0.0, of course this would cache all zeros. On platforms that do distinguish them, -0.0 is left alone, which is just fine. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
