Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I concur with Raymond. This expands the API too much. Not just the float API, but the API of all numeric classes, including third-party classes. And since the existence of additional method in third-party classes (e.g. NumPy classes) can't be guarantied, this couldn't help in the case of msg286441.
The less harmful way is making math.isfinite() and like supporting non-float numeric types. Always return False for integer types and fall back to the is_finite() method. But even this can be too expensive. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18842> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
