sp.hyp2f1(10,5,-300.5,0.5) -6.5184949735e+156 The present implementation of the function in scipy, involves one Euler Transform followed by the application of Power Series (as a and b turn negative after Euler Transform is applied once). This most probably blows up the values of function as |c||a|

If you are interested in the hypergeometric numerical evaluation, it's probably a good idea to take a look at this recent master's thesis written on the problem: http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/porterm/research/pearson_final.pdfhttp://bl-1.com/click/load/BDEKOABvUWAAYgNhATc-b0231 The thesis is
