maybe the way to be really consistent (especially with the Zen of Python, explicit is better than implicit) that int --> float --> complex (imaginary) should not occur either !
Applying parts of the Zen selectively can be dangerous. Practicality also beats purity. I've used a language where there was no automatic promotion from ints to floats, and it was a pain in the backside. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
