In order to carry out manipulations, Maxima changes all floats to
rationals.
You can suppress the messages, I forget which flag it is,
but probably it's better to avoid floats until you really need them.

Try working with either rationals or bigfloats, which are limited
only by available memory. (I don't know how Python types map
onto Maxima's big integers and bigfloats, sorry.)

FWIW
