Thank you Guido.
It'll be nice to see this all come to something.
Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion -- despite this being a pretty simple function, I learned a lot and far more fully appreciate the nuance of all of this.
I'll edit the text as you suggest, and then work on a patch \-- I'm sure I'll have questions for Python-dev when I actually do that, but I'll get started on my �own and see how far I get.

There's another typo:� The "Large tolerances" section, references a "string test".� Perhaps that should be "strong test", but that would seem to contradict the sentence which follows.

However, those are just minor edits, and I hereby approve the PEP. Thanks Chris and everyone else for the fruitful discussion (and thanks especially to Chris for eventually ending the bikeshedding and writing a PEP that explains each of the choices). Congrats!I think it's time to accept PEP 485\. I've re-read it once more, and it looks like the text is in great shape. (My only recommendation would be to update the Abstract to state that we're specifically adding math.isclose().)A wording question: "This implementation has a flag that lets the user select which relative tolerance test to apply -- this PEP does not suggest that that be retained, but rather than the weak test be selected." -- I think this was meant to say "... rather \*that\* the weak test be selected", right? (It would be nice if the sample implementation defaulted to the choice in the PEP.)
