But we seem to be getting a mixed message here: 1) it's too coplex with too many variable that have to be thought through and won't satisfy everyone anyway. and 2) It's just a simple one-liner Those are kind of incompatible ideas ;-) This feels to me not so different then math.isclose() -- not that complex, but complex enough that it's good to put a well thought through implementation in the stdlib. -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
