Sorry, I'll try to describe better.

I have a calculation of probability which involves things like factorial, 
exponential, and also Ive.  It was working fine using scipy.  Now I need to 
extend it to larger parameter values, and the calculation blows up (involves 
things like 512!).  I thought, why not try using sympy?  It has extended 
precision.  I noticed that sympy has some bessel functions, but not the ones I 
need.

Since then, I've noticed an extended precision floating point module for 
python, clnum
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/clnum/1.5
This might be of some use (both to me, and maybe to sympy)
