Nope! I had nothing to do with it. I would have been -0.5 on adding it had I been aware at the time. - I expect the audience is tiny. - While, ya, _I_ have uses for it, I had a utility function for it approximately forever (it's easily built on top of math.frexp()). - Especially now, fractions.Fraction(some_float) is the same thing except for return type. > OTOH it looks like Decimal has it, Looks like ints got it first, and then spread to Decimal because "why not?" ;-) The first attempt to spread it to Decimal I found was rejected (which would have been my vote too): https://bugs.python.org/issue8947 > so I think this ship has sailed too and maybe it's best to add it to the > numeric tower just to be done with it. Or rip it out of everything. Either way works for me ;-) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
