[Python-Dev] return type of complex (original) (raw)

I think I've changed my mind on this, since it was pointed out that if you're going to return a float instead of a complex, you should really be implementing float, not complex.

So I think it's fine to require complex to return a complex, and the docs should perhaps be clarified on that point.

Also PyComplex_AsComplex() should perhaps enforce that.
