float64 has less integer precision than int64: >>> math.pow(3, 39) == 3**39 False >>> np.int64(3)**39 == 3**39 True (as a sidenote, np.float64's equality operator seems to be slightly broken: >>> np.float64(3)**39 == 3**39 True >>> int(np.float64(3)**39) == 3**39 False >>> float(np.float64(3)**39) == 3**39 False ) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org https://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
