That is 1/F1 where F1 is the first Feigenbaum constant a/k/a delta. The mathworld article is pretty good: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/FeigenbaumConstant.html It mentions that both constants were calculated to about 1000 digits in 1999. I don't know how that was done, but presumably they could be calculated to more digits these days if someone felt like it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
