I want todo faster baseconversion for very big bases like base

How do you know the baseconversion is the bottleneck, if you
haven't written any Python code yet?
He doesn't. He doesn't comprehend that as far as a computer is
concerned an integer has no specific 'base', it's only when
presented in a form for humans to read that it gets base
information added in the representation.
He's making these and other similar errors in the javascript groups
too.
I suspect he's one of those people that spends his time thinking
up elaborate solutions that he has no idea how to implement as a
response to dreamt up non existent problems.
Bullshit declare two integers in any language one 7 and one 4 and
then write x=7+4; if you find a programming language where that does
not yield 11 tell me.
Integers are internally assumed to be base 10 otherwise you could not
calculate without giving the base.
All operations on integers addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division assume base 10.
Sorry to say this, but that's nonsense.
It doesn't matter what base it's working in internally; usually it's
base 2 (binary), because that's simpler to implement.
It's only when you're converting from or to text that you need specify
a base. Humans prefer base 10, so they've make that the default.
