I filedhttp://bugs.python.org/issue24270 to track this, but there's a fair bit of work to be done to integrate the changes into the existing math module's code, tests and documentation.

I'm willing to consider a feature freeze exception for this, as long as

* it doesn't make invasive changes (it looks like it will literally add one new entry point, which is acceptable) * it's cleaned up in the way the core devs are proposing (integrate it into the math module, including tests and documentation) * it's done before beta 2

Somebody, please take that as an encouragement to get this cleaned up and ready for checkin.

p.s. Would it make sense to add a form of isclose to unittest?
