In the issue (http://bugs.python.org/issue24270) Tal wrote """ I have a question regarding complex values. The code (from Chris Barker) doesn't support complex values (only things that can be converted into doubles). However, the PEP states the following under "Non-float types": "complex : for complex, the absolute value of the complex values will be used for scaling and comparison. If a complex tolerance is passed in, the absolute value will be used as the tolerance." """ right -- that was written before it was decided that isclose() needed to be written in C -- the python version supported that. """ Should math.isclose() support complex values? """ nope -- the math module is all about floats. """ Should an equivalent function be added to cmath? """ I think so -- lets see if we can do that in time for 3.5 -- but first get the float one done. """ Should we just leave things as they are and remove mention of complex values from the PEP (it isn't mentioned in the docs)? """ I'll update the PEP. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception chris.bar...@noaa.gov
