To get 20.45 use the true division operator /. If float // int would return int, 1e300 // 2 would return a 300-digit integer. It takee more memory and its creation is slower than 5e299. In addition it does not make sense to provide such precision. ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson, serhiy.storchaka, tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38929> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
