I don't have a real-world use case other than that sounds like something I would do with a function called is_close. I don't think we get much of anything (Except saving a few characters wen you want to define your tolerance with respect to significant digits) by forcing the error tolerances to be a power of ten. (And passing tolerance=math.log(X) is awful api design) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
