Also, we should document the meaning of the other fields. Several of them are not self explanatory: min_10_exp = -307 does not mean that 2.3e-308 isn't normalized does mean that 10**-307 is normalized and 10**-308 isn't min_exp = -1021 does not mean that 2**-1021 is the lowest normalized value does mean ldexp(0.5, -1021) == float_info.min decimal_dig = 15 does not mean digits required to specify every unique float does mean, "number of decimal digits, q, such that any floating-point number with q decimal digits can be rounded into a floating-point number with p radix b digits and back again without change to the q decimal digits" ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41822> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
