When we added math.is_close() ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0485/) someone (Victor Stinner?) re-wrote the math module as a Python wrapper around the C one, so we could add pure Python functions to it. But that was rejected, and we stuck with pure C for that one. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
