Not to Steve it isn't. Be careful about making value judgements like that: Steve is asking for an integer NAN because for *him* an integer NAN is more useful than an exception. You shouldn't tell him that he is wrong, unless you know his use-case and his code, which you don't. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
