[issue38801] Scientific notation doesn't work with itertools.islice

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

Hello Yaroslav.  What you've observed was a intentional change to make islice() behave more like regular slices.  Neither of those accept floats which are precarious to use for indexing.

A workaround is to replace 1e+6 with 10**6.
