[issue37450] Generalize Euclidean distance function in the math module to Minkowski distance

Mark Dickinson added the comment: Agreed. We've moved away from the "Python's math module is just a set of wrappers around the C math library" stage, but it's still important to keep the math module a coherent set of basic building blocks. -- ___

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: I would like to decline this for now. We're being reserved about what goes into the math module, deferring many needs to third-party packages. -- resolution: -> rejected stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed

[issue37450] Generalize Euclidean distance function in the math module to Minkowski distance

New submission from Rafael Villca Poggian : Given that Euclidean distance function was added into the Math module, I think it would be better to have the generalized version of the function as an implementation of the Minkowski distance with p=2 by default, thus maintaining the use as
