The answers to my math questions never seem to stick, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask this question again (even though I think I did the same a couple of years ago, but google doesn't find it). It turns out that on MacOS math.sqrt(-1) returns "nan", as does math.log(-1), and I didn't try any other ones. This is true for all possible combinations of MacPython 2.3, 2.4a0 or apple-Python 2.3, MacPython-OS9 or MacPython-OSX, and Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X. When I tried the same on a linux box (Python 2.4a0) it raised ValueError: math domain error, which is what I would have expected. Why this difference? Is it something I should fix? How? Or document it? -- Jack Jansen, <Jack.Jansen at cwi.nl>, http://www.cwi.nl/~jack If I can't dance I don't want to be part of your revolution -- Emma Goldman
