For systems programming I often use<br>floats as timestamps in dictionaries,<br>and in this case I never do calculations<br>and all I care about is &quot;same&quot; or &quot;different&quot;,<br>meaning &quot;any single bit difference&quot;.<br>
<br>If you change the way == works and<br>also follow through and change the way<br>floats in dictionaries work you would<br>probably break very many applications<br>like this.&nbsp; I think any &quot;almost equal&quot;<br>should be implemented using a new<br>
method or syntax x~=y rather than<br>break things.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp; - Aaron Watters<br><br><a href="http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=stdio+stinks">http://www.xfeedme.com/nucular/pydistro.py/go?FREETEXT=stdio+stinks</a><br>
