Unification Idea

[Raymond Hettinger]

Complex numbers define: .real, .imag, and .conjugate().
I think we ought to define them for floats, ints, and longs also.

arr = [ 2,10L, 5.1, 3+2j ]
map( lambda z: z.conjugate(), arr )            # This is what I would like to do

map( lambda z: type(z)==types.ComplexType and z.conjugate() or z, arr )   # vs.
what I have to do now
