which is exactly what I expected, since abs (which is indeed absolute
value) is a built-in function, not a part of the math module. Are you sure
the stack trace you posted matches the source code you posted?
By the way, when using math functions, I find it's usually easier to import
them into my namespace by doing "from math import *", then I can just use
sin(), cos(), etc directly, instead of having to do math.sin() or
math.cos(). Especially for common math functions, this makes your code a
lot easier to read.

You're defining ac1, ac2, ac3 as tuples, each with two items. That's
silly: remove these three useless and confusing lines (the first two are
prety silly too). No damage, but, avoidable extra confusion.

Weird -- I can't reproduce this; it's the kind of symptom you get when
mistakenly using a comma instead of a dot, for example, but I don't see
that error in your code.
What I _do_ see is an "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute
'abs'" on the amp3 assignment -- of course, because that's indeed the
fact (abs is a builtin, not a member to module math).
Most likely, you got a bit confused and didn't copy-and-paste exactly
what was going on.

abs does stand for absolute-value.
Hmm, complex numbers, cool I don't even have any idea where C stands on this.
C has no stand on complex numbers.

Change math.abs() to abs(). It's a builtin function. Yes, it does compute the
absolute value. Fixing that:

[Robert Kern] ... ph3 = math.atan( ac3.imag / ac3.real ) ...
Don't do that: atan2 is the correct way to compute the angle, because
the signs of both inputs are needed to determine the correct quadrant.
So do:
ph3 = math.atan2(ac3.imag, ac3.real)
instead.

I certainly agree about using atan2() instead of atan(), but I'm surprised
there's not an easier way to get the phase of a complex, just like abs()
gives you the modulus. I can see why you wouldn't want to pollute the
global namespace with another built-in just for this purpose, but surely a
complex.phase property wouldn't hurt?

Well I took the abs( 'complex' ) from the python documentation (python24.chm)
section 3.1.1
has the following comment after it '# sqrt(a.real**2 + a.imag**2)'
By the way, when using math functions, I find it's usually easier to import them into my namespace by doing "from math import *", then I can just use sin(), cos(), etc directly, instead of having to do math.sin() or math.cos(). Especially for common math functions, this makes your code a lot easier to read.
Ah, I thought I used to use module functions without the module name.
I think my problem is reimporting electronics(.py) after modifications.
Yes, now it complains about abs().
looks like enother reason to dump this w2000 installation just so I can
install python from scratch and use idle.

Yeah, I was thinking of the previous (C89) standard, the one which IS
(still) required to build Python.
