[issue6765] math.log, log10 inconsistency

[Tim Peters]

Tim Peters <tim.peters at gmail.com> added the comment:

I wasn't keen to add the 2-argument log() extension either.  However, I
bet it would help if the docs for that were changed to explain that
log(x, base) is just a convenient shorthand for computing
log(x)/log(base), and therefore may be a little less accurate than a
function that directly computed the logarithm wrt the given base.
