Thanks for the correction Mark, I didn't realize that! Shantanu is right about what my ask was meant to be. I guess I'm nowhere near the first to propose things like this and there's a lot of discussion in various threads about it that I wasn't aware of.

Yes, I believe the ask is for `int.__complex__`, `float.__complex__` and `complex.__complex__` ( https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/3186#issuecomment-762121456)

Inheriting from `numbers.Real` _does_ give you `__complex__`, though: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/314b8787e0c50985ba708034b84ff5b37a1d4...

Is it instead `float.__complex__` you're asking for? _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python...@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-id...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python...@python.org/message/L7KA5VUCJ... https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/L7KA5V...
