Missing math module?

[marcelstoer]

According to https://micropython.org/resources/docs/ ... /math.html there's a math module (I know, no floating point though). Yet, when I run

Code: Select all

import math

the answer is

Code: Select all

File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: module not found

Since Google didn't turn up anything helpful when I searched for this I feel I'm doing something wrong. What is it?

I'm running release 1.2.

Is there any conceivable use for the math module on a device which lacks FP? I'm genuinely puzzled here

[marcelstoer]

That's what I asked myself when I looked at the available functions. If you're implicitly saying that there's really no math module on the WiPy, which would make sense to me, then why is it in the docs?

[marcelstoer]

The docs are misleading and inconsistent indeed. At https://micropython.org/resources/docs/ ... neral.html it clearly says

Due to space reasons, there’s no floating point support, and no math module.

I'll create an issue at https://github.com/micropython/micropython/issues as I haven't found out yet which .rst file causes this.

I know but I haven't found out what makes the /wipy/library/math.html path appear. You've got to search for 'math' in the docs for that URL to become available. It's not in the left-hand navigation tree.
