I'd be at least partially satisfied with doing a string conversion ;-)
How would I do that? Is there something like strtolongdouble()? Or a
sscanf function?
I will try to remember to open a ticket for the issue.
Perhaps the issue that numpy.longdouble("0.4") doesn't work properly a
slightly separate bug...
