Numpy supports signed/unsigned 64 bit numbers too, so that may be enough for you: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/basics.types.html Regarding 128-bit numbers you may have to support them manually, with pairs of uint64, with numpy. They aren't much common yet. (D language will have cent/ucent 128 bit integral numbers, but it's not a common thing). Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
