==========
+* Currently :func:`math.factorial` accepts :class:`float` instances with
+ non-negative integer values (like ``5.0``). It raises a :exc:`ValueError`
+ for non-integral and negative floats. It is deprecated now. In future
+ Python versions it will raise a :exc:`TypeError` for all floats.
