No, I mean just having the ability to ask the float (his attribute) what are the max and min values it can represent, etc. stop = float.max ... I don't know any simple way to know that values now. And importing sys to know the max int looks stupid. maxi = int.max mini = int.min ... Such attributes can be given to the Decimal values too, if you want.
