The modules described in this chapter provide numeric and math-related functions

Backport PEP 3141 from the py3k branch to the trunk. This includes r50877 (just
the complex_pow part), r56649, r56652, r56715, r57296, r57302, r57359, r57361,
r57372, r57738, r57739, r58017, r58039, r58040, and r59390, and new
documentation. The only significant difference is that round(x) returns a float
to preserve backward-compatibility. See http://bugs.python.org/issue1689.

and data types. The :mod:`numbers` module defines an abstract hierarchy of
|
|
|
|
|
numeric types. The :mod:`math` and :mod:`cmath` modules contain various
|
|
|
|
|
mathematical functions for floating-point and complex numbers. For users more
|
|
|
|
|
interested in decimal accuracy than in speed, the :mod:`decimal` module supports
|
|
|
|
|
exact representations of decimal numbers.
