No need to do anything special. Python allows long integers, and you can calculate directly with them: >>> big1 = int('1' + 100*'2') >>> big2 = int('2' + 100*'3') >>> big1 12222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 222222222222222222222L >>> big2 23333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 333333333333333333333L >>> big1 + big2 35555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555555 555555555555555555555L >>> regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC www.holdenweb.com PyCon TX 2006 www.python.org/pycon/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
