unlimited precision? Posted: Aug 30, 2004 8:15 AM

I have never played with Python before and don't yet have it installed, but am considering it for a project and I read that Python can offer unlimited precision with numbers. Does this mean that it can handle really HUGE calculations, like Marsenne primes? I'm talking about computing powers and possibly millions of digits here...

Thanks!
