http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-January/076626.html Also, the docstring doesn't seem correct or clear. |

Moved in r60486. I tried to improve the docstring too. |

It would be nice in the docstring the definition of "truncate" wasn't assumed. It would be more specific to say that it rounds towards zero or that it is ceil(x) for negatives and floor(x) for positives. Alternatively, state that it returns the integer portion of a Real. The word "truncate" in the docstring is close to being a circular definition -- if you don't know what math.trunc() does, being told it truncates isn't especially informative. |

Go ahead and fix the docstring. I don't really understand what was incorrect about the original "returns the integral closest to x between 0 and x", so I'm not confident that I'll come up with something you'll like. |

The latest version in Py2.6 has wording about truncating toward zero. This is fine. Leaving the report closed. |

*sigh* That's the version I put there. Did you read the patch before complaining about it? |
