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

[Mark Dickinson]

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.

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

[Rafael Villca Poggian]

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 Euclidean distance, providing the extra uses of Minkowski distance.
