I'm pretty sure it *was* merged: math.sum should be the full-precision summation in both recent betas (2.6b2 and 3.0b2). Try comparing sum([1e100, 1, -1e100, -1]) and math.sum([1e100, 1, -1e100, -1])---they should produce -1.0 and 0.0 respectively. The name change to fsum only happened in the last few days. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2819> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
