The only question is whether 1.0 should be inexact or exact. While that is not specified in the PEP (which was meant for Barry to assign me a PEP number primarily...), I think the principle of least suprise would be to treat 1.0 as inexact. (IOW, not to promise that (1.0/3.0)*3.0 == 1.0) -- Moshe Zadka <sig@zadka.site.co.il>
