In short, a PEP is a summary of a long discussion. IMHO a PEP is required to write down the rationale and lists most important alternative and explain why the PEP is better. The hard part is to write a short but "complete" PEP. I tried to follow this discussion and I still to understand why my proposition of "def clamp(min_val, value, max_val): return min(max(min_val, value), max_val)" is not good. I expect that a PEP replies to this question without to read the whole thread :-) I don't recall neither what was the "conclusion" for NaN.

Is this idea still alive?
Despite the bike shedding, I think that some level of consensus may have
been reached. So I suggest that either Neil (because it was your idea) or Steven (because you've had a lot of opinions, and done a lot of the homework) or both, of course, put together a reference implementation and a proposal, post it here, and see how it flies.
It's one function, so hopefully won't need a PEP, but if your proposal
meets with a lot of resistance, then you could turn it into a PEP then. But getting all this discussion summaries would be good as a first step.
NOTE: I think it's a fine idea, but I've got way to omay other things I'd
like to do first -- so I'm not going to push this forward...

I can even think of a case where clamp could be used with a constant control and a varying bound: S-s inventory control facing occasional large orders in an otherwise continuous, stationary demand process.
Sounds interesting. Is there a link to somewhere I could learn more about this?
The textbook I use is Nancy Stokey, The Economics of Inaction
The example I gave is not a textbook example, but is an "obvious" extension of the simplest textbook models. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
