Steven D'Aprano added the comment: I thought about special-casing n=2 to math.sqrt, but as that's an implementation detail I can make that change at any time. According to my testing, math.pow(x, 0.5) is no worse than sqrt, so I'm not sure if there's any advantage to having yet another branch.
I'd be interested in special-casing n=3 to math.cbrt (if and when it exists) now that its a standard C99 function. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27181> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
