[Python-Dev] Math.sqrt(-1) -- nan or ValueError? (original) (raw)

I'm trying to fix a failing unit test in revision 57974. The test in question claims that math.sqrt(-1) should raise ValueError; the code itself gives "nan" as a result for that expression. I can modify the test and therefore have it pass, but I'm not sure if an exception would be more appropriate. I'd be happy for some direction here. Many thanks!
