Sorry, I was not clear enough. I meant that the second option (always float) would be more coherent with Python3. On Oct 8, 2016 9:36 PM, "Charles R Harris" <charlesr.harris@gmail.com> wrote: On Sat, Oct 8, 2016 at 1:31 PM, Krisztián Horváth <raksi.raksi@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

I think it should be consistent with Python3. So, it should give back a float.

Best regards, Krisztian

Can't do that and also return integers for positive powers. It isn't possible to have behavior completely compatible with python for arrays: can't have mixed type returns, can't have arbitrary precision integers.
