Hi all,
I am trying to read some 19-digit integers using loadtxt (or genfromtxt
-- same problem). The numbers are smaller than the max int64 (and the
max uint64 -- same problem with either one).
Below, Out[184] shows that python has no problem with the conversion,
but loadtxt gets the last few digits wrong in Out[185].
Am I doing something stupid?
Yours,
Andrew
