New submission from Yoni Lavi <y...@lavi.fm>:
I would like to put forward an argument in favour of a `default` parameter in the statistics.mean function and the related function. What motivated me to open this is that my code would more often than not include a check (or try-except) whenever I calculate a mean and add a default/sentinel value, and I felt that there should be a better way. Please also note that we have a precedent for this in a similar parameter added to min & max in 3.4 (https://bugs.python.org/issue18111) ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 358653 nosy: Yoni Lavi priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add a default to statistics.mean and related functions type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
