Python used to run on some Crays that had their own fp format, with 5 bits less precision than an IEEE double but much greater dynamic range. I don't know whether VAX D double format is still in use either (which has 3 bits more precision than IEEE double). > That is, Python uses the 8-byte FP, not the (arguably worthless) 4-bit > FP. I believe all Python platforms use *some* flavor of 8-byte float. > Cross-platform precision is not an issue. If it is, nobody has griped about it (to my knowledge).
