Sorry, I have to stop you there as the entire premise of your post is clearly wrong. "int" is not "an approximation of real numbers", it's a model of the mathematical concept "integers", and it's not an approximation, and since the long/int unification you can't even overflow it as I understand things (barring ridiculous situations like running out of memory). -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
