Agreed that this doesn't seem appropriate for bugfix releases. We might also want to consider having PyComplex_AsCComplex check for __float__, again for consistency with the 'complex' constructor: >>> class A(object): ... def __float__(self): ... return 42.0 ... >>> a = A() >>> float(a) 42.0 >>> complex(a) (42+0j) Mark _______________________________________________ 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
