Documentation and code for a Python PEP about an appoximate equal check for Python.
There has been a large discussion on python-ideas about how and whether to add a function to the Python standard libary that checks if two values are approximately equal.
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-January/030947.html
This repo serves as a place to experiment with implementations and to cooperate on the drafting of a PEP.
The PEP itself is in: pep-0485.txt.
A proposed implementation is in is_close_to.py, with unit tests in test_is_close_to.py, naturally.
I am using this for a working copy, so that people can review, submit pull requests, what have you.
The offical PEP is posted here:
