> Why wouldn't you just write 1/7?1/7 is irrational, so it's not easy to get the "exact value" for a 64-bit IEEE 754 double float. I chose it because it's easy to write. Maybe math.pi is a better example :-) >>> math.pi.hex() '0x1.921fb54442d18p+1' Victor _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
