When a coalescent tree is contained within a species tree with longest distance to root of N, the longest distances to root in the coalescent tree are slightly longer than N. I believe this can be solved by using Decimal, or at least importing some popular numerical packages so that users can convert their edge lengths to a numerical representation of their choice.
If that is not in line with the vision of the project, please change the documentation in treemodel.py to reflect the types of edge lengths.
