[Python-ideas] A number is a number

Isn't it? Python 3.0 integers are just integers. Now ceil and floor return ints from float arguments. It seems like things are moving closer to just having a single "number" type. For most applications, because of duck typing, you'd never know or care whether you're punting a float, int, or complex number around, and you'd usually not care. Why not just go whole-hog and unify them all? Neil
