(original) (raw)

It seems .as\_integer\_ratio() has been resolved.

what about the original .is\_integer() request? (Or did I miss that somehow?)

Anyway, it seems like \_\_index\_\_() should play a role here somehow... isn't that how you ask an object for the integer version of itself?

Could float et al. add an \_\_index\_\_ method that would return a ValueError if the value was not an integer?

Of course, as pointed out earlier in this thread, an "exact" integer is probably not what you want with a float anyway....

Because. at this point, that would be beating a dead horse ;-)
