[Bf-committers] Re: GameObject Python Distance function

[erwin at erwincoumans.com]

Wouldn't it be better to add a new Math/Utility module ? 

It wouldn't require that much extra, and it is easier to extend with other 
useful things. Also just passing simpel types makes it more general purpose 
, passing objects limits the usage: you can't get the distance between to 
points (for example the distance from a hitpoint and another point).
