In theory, yes, but my observations of past discussions have been that
they tend to founder on the issues of cross-platform support and
long-term code maintenance.
The current cmath module has some significant numerical problems,
particularly in the inverse trig and inverse hyperbolic trig
functions. I've listed a few of these below, but for now I'll just
note the following upsetting result:

I've just discovered the hard way that NamedTemporaryFile
automatically deletes the file when you close it. That
doesn't seem very useful to me, since surely the reason
you're using NamedTemporaryFile instead of TemporaryFile
is that you want to do something else with it afterwards?
What's the rati
All,
I have a problem being reported (by Xen users) where inspect.stack() is
throwing IndexError. I think that this is a bug in inspect.py -- findsource
generally throws IOError when it can't find a particular source file, but in
the case where it finds a source file, but that file is shorter tha
