No, there are no plans. Although IEEE 754-2008 defines the format and semantics of such numbers, they do not provide an implementation. If someone wishes to make a C implementation and integrate that into numpy as a new dtype, I think that would be welcome. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
