This is the only function from math to do so, it may be related to issue    29299 but the patch from Victor Stinner does not fix this.

It's the only function with an optional argument in math, on 3.7 all such function result in ValueError, e.g. getattr, iter, max.

In fact, I don't see anything warranting a separate issue. I'd suggest to close this and perhaps ping Larry instead on the issue 29299 which you mentioned.

Yes you are right, this is actually the same issue. I will try to look for the other attempts Serhiy Storchaka talks about in issue 29299 and ping Larry on this issue.

(I can't set the superseeded flag on this issue thought)
