I cannot read your mind, I can only interpret the words you choose to write. You said [quote] See, I think the very existence of math.fsum() already violates "there should be one obvious way to do it." [end quote] If sum satisfies the existence of one obvious way, how does math.fsum violate it? sum exists, and is obvious, regardless of whatever other solutions exist as well. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
