float64 is a 64-bit float on all machines. A "32-bit machine" refers only to the size of its memory address space and the size of the integer type used for pointers. It has no effect on floating point types; 32- and 64-bit versions are standard on all supported platforms though the higher precisions vary significantly from machine to machine regardless of whether it is 32- or 64-bit. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
