Nope, the thing to do was to read the docs for _PyLong_AsScaledDouble, which explicitly promise e >= 0. That's what I did :-) "The docs" are in longobject.h. You can tell which functions I wrote, BTW, because they're the ones with comments in the header file documenting what they do. It's an ongoing mystery to me why nobody else found that to be a practice worth emulating ;-)/:-( _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
