Contents of README:The bigfloat module is a Python wrapper for the MPFR library for arbitrary precision floating-point reliable arithmetic. The MPFR library is a well-known portable C library for arbitrary-precision arithmetic on floating-point numbers. It provides precise control over precisions and rounding modes and gives correctly-rounded reproducible platform-independent results. The bigfloat module aims to provide a convenient and friendly Python interface to the operations and functions provided by the MPFR library. The main class, BigFloat, gives an immutable multiple-precision floating-point type that can be freely mixed with Python integers and floats. The Context class, when used in conjunction with Pythons with statement, gives a simple way of controlling precisions and rounding modes. Additional module-level functions provide various standard mathematical operations. There is full support for IEEE 754 signed zeros, nans, infinities and subnormals. |
