You don't need a type-check, you just need to check for a pair of numerator and denominator attributes. So we could do something like this, except in C: try: return log(float(x)) except DomainError: try: a = x.numerator b = x.denominator except AttributeError: pass else: return log(a) - log(b) raise ---------- nosy: +steven.daprano _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42886> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
