Exactly. If your Intel machine is Pentium 4 or newer, you can get around this by using the SSE2 extensions, which work with 64-bit doubles throughout. I don't remember offhand precisely which gcc flags you need for this. > Hey, floating point numbers are funny :-) Yup. _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3166> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
