[PYTHON MATRIX-SIG] Type Coercion

[Chris Chase S1A]

Regarding the comments on type coercion.  I agree with Paul's
comments: it is good not to lose precision and to not get an
exception.  However, I would want the capability to turn on exceptions
for those who want to identify unwanted coercions.  How could this be
made an option similar to capabilities of numerical packages that can
turn on/off traps on floating point exceptions?

I also agree with those who have voiced opinions to not to impose
deadlines on the module release.  I would prefer an alpha release with
flexibility rather than a beta with fixed names/feature set.  I do not
think there is a rush on this.  Besides, deadlines for this project
can not supercede the main responsibilities that James and most of us
have in our day jobs.
