bigfloat 0.1.2

The bigfloat package is a Python package providing arbitrary-precision correctly-rounded floating-point arithmetic. It is implemented as a wrapper around the MPFR library (http://www.mpfr.org).

Features:

• correct rounding on all operations; precisely defined semantics compatible with the IEEE 754-2008 standard.

• the BigFloat type interacts well with Python integers and floats.

• full support for emulating IEEE 754 arithmetic in any of the IEEE binary interchange formats described in IEEE 754-2008. Infinities, NaNs, signed zeros, and subnormals are all supported.

• easy control of rounding modes and precisions, via Python’s ‘with’ statement.
