I would appreciate a low level solution because I have to
iteratively call
that computation millions of times. Anything more efficient than
2.718182**10 may be good.
Umm, what's wrong with
from math import e # more precision than 2.718182
print e**10
e**10 is shorter
According to a quick interactive session and the timeit module it's quicker
to do 2.71828**10 than using math.exp, I'm guessing cos of the function
call.
>>> t=timeit.Timer("2.718282**10")
>>> t.repeat()
[0.073765993118286133, 0.066617012023925781, 0.06807398796081543]
>>> t=timeit.Timer("math.exp
Thanks Marc and Kent and all. math.exp() is what I was looking for.

Hello All,
It such a simple question, but because of that, googling for an answer just
pulls the wrong results.
How do I compute a power of e in Python?
Say I need 2.718282 to the 10th. In R for example, I just do exp(10).
I would appreciate a low level solution because I have to iteratively c
