The 'float part' of a complex number is meaningless since both components of a complex are floats (in practice, or reals in theory). The same is true in polar representation. | and should not take a complex argument (which I | completely agree with), then int() does not mean "the int part of" and | should not take a float argument. The 'integer (int) part' of a float/rational/real is established thru decades of usage. Your consequent is false and in no way follows from your antecendent. tjr _______________________________________________ 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
