[issue33089] Add multi-dimensional Euclidean distance function to the math module

Mark Dickinson added the comment: +1 for a single-rounded dot product. If we're allowed to assume IEEE 754, it's straightforward to code up something that's not too inefficient and gives correctly rounded results for "normal" cases, using a combination of Veltkamp

[issue33053] Avoid adding an empty directory to sys.path when running a module with `-m`

Nathaniel Smith added the comment: @ncoghlan: The comparison I'm worried about is specifically this one: IIUC, right now it's safe to run 'pip --version' in an arbitrary directory, but it's not safe to run 'python -m pip --version' in an arbitrary directory. Am I wrong? (I

[issue33098] add implicit conversion for random.choice() on a dict

Aristide Grange added the comment: My bad... For my reference to Python 2, I relied on my memory only, which starts to vanish. Really sorry about that. Yes, `random.choice(d)` (mostly) fails in Python 2 too, with an error message that I better understand after

Re: Keys in dict and keys not in dict
