I've just been using the decimal module for Python 2.3 (native in Python 2.4) at 100 digit precision to solve some very high order polynomials. Slow but worked well for me. Also used a rational.py module ported to Py 2.3. Perhaps you can do your calcs to the precision you want with a combination of decimal and rational arithmetic. bwaha -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
