Hello all, So, from my SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867393/how-do-languages-such-as-python-overcome-cs-integral-data-limits , I learn that Python has 'bignum' for supporting Arbitrary Precision arithmetic.
Now, how does CPython implement bignum? From what I gather, there is more than way of doing it- using a different radix (base), an array of numbers. One hint is given by http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0237/. However, if any of you folks know something concrete, I would appreciate it.
