Not AFAIK. Please try.
i still have my stillborn bignum (using bcd registers and efficient
algorithms) implementation if anyone wants to pick it up. i have some
working base code and the overall design.
The major problem is: we need bignum now^Wtomorrow^WRSN. The Pie-thon benchmarks does use long (integer?) arithmetics: +, - *, //, % AFAIK.
We can always switch the internals, as long as we keep it consistent at the surface.
