Ah. I missed this email.
So what do you think of my patch? Does it make sense to provide math.py?
--
For math.py without _math: isnan(), isfinite(), etc. can be implemented in pure Python using the struct module. See for example the old fpconst module:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fpconst
Well, it would be specific to IEEE 754, but most platforms support IEEE 754, and other Python implementations can implement their own _math module to support more platforms (like platforms not supporting IEEE 754 floats). |
