Certainly 3.x, but not 2.7. Why not 2.7? It is a perfectly-backward-compatible change: no currenly-working code could possibly break if cmath's restriction was relaxed. It's a new feature.
That is an assertion; I can dqually assert that the current over-strict typechecking is a bug, because it doesn't conform to the semandics of 'comples_new'.
Also, it's possible that someone is relying on it throwing for non-complex values.
No already working, non-contrived code would break, becuase float is perfectly-promotable to complex.
