[New-bugs-announce] [issue35707] time.sleep() should support objects with __float__

[Jeroen Demeyer]

New submission from Jeroen Demeyer <J.Demeyer at UGent.be>:

This used to work correctly in Python 2:

class Half(object):
    def __float__(self):
        return 0.5
import time
time.sleep(Half())

With Python 3.6, one gets instead

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 6, in <module>
    time.sleep(Half())
TypeError: an integer is required (got type Half)
