gladman added the comment: I am inclined to think that a maths.gcd() makes sense as this would be where I would go first to find this function. And the prospect of better performance is attractive since the gcd is an important operation in work with number theory algorithms.
Would it co-exist with fractions.gcd(), with identical semantics? Or would it co-exist with fractions.gcd(), with the 'less surprising' semantics that are under discussion in the 'GCD in Fractions' thread? Would it take on the suggestion of operating on one or more input parameters? ---------- nosy: +gladman _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22486> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
