The time to change this was 3.0, if it was ever needed. It would break too much code now. We could develop some strategy using macros, but I just don't think it's worth it. And as Amaury points it, the type is known in python as "float", so to change it would be confusing. That it uses C doubles is an implementation detail. ---------- nosy: +eric.smith _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6427> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
