Dennis Sweeney <[email protected]> added the comment:
Do you have a particular use case for this? This is a backwards-incompatible
change, and the existing behavior (the only false-y float being 0.0) is very
old and well-established.
If this change was implemented, I suspect almost every use of it would benefit
from a clarifying comment like
if x: # check for NaNs
...
...so that is a hint to me that using the existing math.isnan() (or
numpy.isnan() if you have numpy) is more explicit and therefore more readable.
I also think it would be confusing to have two different floats (0.0 and NaN)
both be false-y.
