course, while these options are great for using python as a calculator, they would suck if used for a ray-tracer (you wouldn't want to use python long ints for such a beast, either).
Not sure I follow. A ray tracer doesn't need infinite precision. Floating point ops do OK, no? After you get well below the threshold of screen and/or print resolution, who cares about more digits? Kirby
