Would super appreciate help on this. I need to raise numbers to huge power (50+) & Python understandably overflows. Documentation is bad.

Hmmm looks like I got it working with BigFloat — advice still appreciated though.

you could also try http://fredrikj.net/python-flint/ We at
@sagemath do this kind of stuff all the time, btw. What exactly is the problem? -
sure, but is it a 1-off computation? or something massive, like doing linear algebra in this precision?
-
it's the weights in a weighted Luce choice
-
need to do extended precision is always a bit suspect in that kind of setting - you approximate something. and no rounding?
-
I don't understand the question, sorry
-
>>> 2.**1000 1.0715086071862673e+301 still works; >>> 2**100000 will work too (non-float, but int)
-
the base is always below 1 and the power is around 50
