I hope that it's obvious from my previous post that I do NOT want such interning done, but since I put the idea in people's heads, I wish to reiterate that I'm against the idea: -1 on interning NaNs. For the rare application where it might be useful, it is easy to do in the application code. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
