描述

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

With https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/150534 it seems that sinpi et all will be landed in the math module. Lets discuss here remaining functions, coming with C23:

  • exp10 - The exp10 functions compute the base-10 exponential of x.
  • exp2m1 - The exp2m1 functions compute the base-2 exponential of the argument, minus 1.
  • exp10m1 - The exp10m1 functions compute the base-10 exponential of the argument, minus 1.
  • log2p1 - The log2p1 functions compute the base-2 logarithm of 1 plus the argument.
  • log10p1 - The log10p1 functions compute the base-10 logarithm of 1 plus the argument.
  • logp1 - alias of log1p, should we consider renaming?
  • rootn - The rootn functions compute the principal nth root of x.
  • rsqrt - The rsqrt functions compute the reciprocal of the nonnegative square root of the argument.

For completeness, cases that can change semantics of pow():

  • pown - The pown functions compute x raised to the nth power.
  • powr - The powr functions compute x raised to the power y as e**(y*log(x)).

I think that missing exp/log functions are good addition on same ground, as existing functions. log1p can be soft-deprecated (I don't think it worth considering deviations in naming like log1p2 and log1p10). I'm less certain about rootn (seems useful, but I would prefer rather some cmath function, that can return any k-th from n roots) and rsqrt.

Consider this as a continuation of https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/135853.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

调研方向

首先阅读 Python math 模块的上下文以及 issue 中链接的 C23 参考资料,然后查看后续 issue #135853 和 #150534 中的讨论。目前这项工作还未达到可以实现的程度:完成的标准是就 Python 应采用所列出的哪些函数、命名变更或语义变更作出决定。
