Ya, I'm mostly with Raymond. `math` was originally a very thin wrapper around C's libm, but we've been moving away from that more and more for decades, and it's no longer the case anyway that the vast bulk of new Python programmers are intimately familiar with C.
If I were coming new to Python now, I'd expect math functions to ... be in `math` ;-) Whether integer or float. I expect this will work fine if the docs are - as Raymond suggests - reworked to make it clear. |
