not against merely any value. ?? You lost me. I think the fact is, one can convert a float to a rational. Is it useful "for sympy"? How do we know if anything in sympy is useful? I'm sure there are features of Macsyma that were put in there because it was possible to do so, without much consideration as to whether it might be useful. Some of those features may have indeed never been useful. Even 45 years later. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
