Issue 1053: make sympify intelligent about 1/2 and 0.5 http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1053
Comment #8 by fabian.seoane: Well, I'm a bit skeptical about preparsing or anything that changes the behaviour of the python console. Let's not forget that we are building a PYTHON LIBRARY and that we are not inventing any language. Most of our users are proficient with python and they know this 'strange' behaviour of floating point, so changing this will only confuse them. Plus, all this is well documented in the python docs. On the other hand if someone want's to implement it then it's ok to have it optional ... but if it depended on me I would mark it as wontfix -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
