[New-bugs-announce] [issue43088] Regression in math.hypot

[Charles Karney]

New submission from Charles Karney <charles at karney.com>:

It would be nice if math.hypot had the property

If
  0 < y1 < y2
then
  math.hypot(x, y1) <= math.hypot(x, y2)

This is not the case in python3 with

  x  = 0.6102683302836215
  y1 = 0.7906090004346522
  y2 = y1 + 1e-16

python2's implementation of math.hypot is OK with these inputs.
