sure, but is it a 1-off computation? or something massive, like doing linear algebra in this precision?

need to do extended precision is always a bit suspect in that kind of setting - you approximate something. and no rounding?

>>> 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

a numerical algorithm that does x->x**50 sounds dodgy. log(x)->50*log(x) would make more sense.
