Re: [Python-ideas] SI scale factors in Python

It really feels like the OP simply wants Python to become a language for circuit design, with no consideration of general pulse usability, not of other domains. Little in the proposal translates well outside his particular domain, and the differences between domains simply make the proposed

Re: [Python-ideas] SI scale factors in Python

I have trouble imagining situations in which SI units would help readability over scientific notation. On the one hand reading it always involves mental conversion to the exponents, so this is just an extra step. E.g. this equality is evident at a glance: 1e3 * 1e6 * 1e-9 == 1 This one would

Re: [Python-ideas] From mailing list to GitHub issues

I find email list VASTLY easier to deal with than any newfangled web-based custom discussion forum. Part of that is that it is a uniform interface to every list I belong too, and I can choose my own MUA. With all those web things, every site works a little bit different from every other one, that
