Yes, those semi-heroic efforts actually are what inspired my question. A few days ago I noticed that and was delighted it works. Use case was the exact calculation of value around 8, for which I used fractions.Fraction. Numerator and denominator were large, but the division numerator/denominator still successfully provided a readable and right-as-can-be float. So yes, even I who brought this up only noticed *that* semi-heroism after years of using Python, and don't have an actual use case for the int-and-float division. The int/int one just gave me the impression that Python is trying hard to give me results when possible, so I wondered about this case. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/XQXLUS2BLYQ5JYS4T2EJMU3BGD6CS62M/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
