What do you mean by "precise factorials"? Python's long integer should

As an exercise that I thought would help me understand the decimal
module, I've been trying write a script (precisionFactorial.py) that
uses a modified fact(n) to compute precise factorials using the
decimal module. I''m getting nowhere fast, and don't understand why.
Here's what I have so far:
Its a pretty reasonable project, certainly not trivial but not
impossible either.

Looks like that gets you to XML format, in that case I'd recommend
that you go fetch ElementTree and use that to parse the XML files.

Yes. All of the above

But the bulk of my Python editing these days is done

If you need high-performance arrays you should look at numpy:

I've only used IDLE on Linux a few times but it certainly works

Suse 5 - the only time I ever used Suse...
