Given the way complex numbers interact with floats generally, returning a complex number with no imaginary component as a floating point value seems legitimate and the checks in cmath overly strict. Otherwise you would get redundancy like: def __complex__(self): return complex(value) or def __complex__(self): return value + 0j More importantly, relaxing the checks in cmath is backwards compatible. while tightening up the checks in complex_new is not.
