Look I don't want it, and anyway it's already in scipy.special. I just organizational symmetry. I expected to find complex versions of math functions in cmath —not in scipy special. On Mon, Oct 14, 2013 at 9:11 AM, Oscar Benjamin <oscar.j.benjamin@gmail.com>wrote:

Actually I didn't notice that. It seems weird to find erf in math, but
erf
for complex numbers in scipy.special. It's just about organization and user discovery. I realize that from the developer's point of view, erf for complex numbers is complicated, but why does the user care?
This is the first time I've seen a suggestion that there should be cmath.erf. So I would say that most users don't care about having a complex error function. Whoever would take the time to implement the complex error function might instead spend that time implementing and maintaining something that users do care about.
