> I'd similarly prefer to see recipes in the docs. Can you elaborate on why you prefer having this in the docs rather than as built-in functionality? For me, the rounded case would be the most common. I don't think I'm better-off writing a wrapper with a semi-opaque trick, having to give it a different name and having it run more slowly than built in functionality. Also as builtin, I can be assured that it is maintained, documented, and well-tested. Writing "y = isqrt(x, 'rounded')" is clear, fast, and convenient. I don't see the advantage is putting that functionality a little more out of reach. The string options have been successful elsewhere in Python. For example, str.encode() has the error modes: "strict", "ignore", and "replace" which as clear, fast, and much better than users having to write their own wrappers. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46187> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
