Sorry, but I can't figure out what code can break this change. Integers are implicitly converted to floats in operations with floats. How can this change break old code? > if you are worried about the performance No, I'm worried about the expectations of coders. Personally, I expected that 1E2 returned a integer. And this is not true. If I wanted a float, I'd wrote 1.0E2 . The fact the exponential notation returns always a float is really misleading, IMHO. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39788> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
