decision comes to be that int(float) should be blessed as a correct way to truncate a float, I'd agree with Raymond that trunc() is just duplication and should be eliminated. I'd, of course, rather have a spelling that says what it means. :)
Mmm... no. int() is a builtin way to transform the builtin data type float into the builtin data type float.
There's no "correct" way for a float to become an integer, but in the math module you have several ways to do it (floor, ceil, round, trunc, choose the one that you want, but you're "notified" <wink/2> that there're different ways to do it).
