hi, thanks for the report. If you could make a small test case that crashes, or just post the function body that crashes that'd be a big help in tracking down the problem. cu. On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 1:21 AM, sy12 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > > Here are the changes that I have noticed

most of python's math functions like asin en atan (from math) return their values in radians, and sin and tan take their arguments as radians. So using radians is more common than degrees. Conversion is also pretty trivial, using math.radians and math.degrees. Hugo On Fri, Aug 15, 2008 at 6:53 AM
