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

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
-
so the base can't be integer
-
(1/100)**10000=1/(100**10000)
-
a numerical algorithm that does x->x**50 sounds dodgy. log(x)->50*log(x) would make more sense.
