What is the maximum float in Python?
For float have a look at sys.float_info:
>>> import sys>>> sys.float_infosys.floatinfo(max=1.7976931348623157e+308, max_exp=1024, max_10_exp=308, min=2.2250738585072014e-308, min_exp=-1021, min_10_exp=-307, dig=15, mant_dig=53, epsilon=2.2204460492503131e-16, radix=2, rounds=1)Specifically, sys.float_info.max:
>>> sys.float_info.max1.7976931348623157e+308If that's not big enough, there's always positive infinity:
>>> infinity = float("inf")>>> infinityinf>>> infinity / 10000infThe long type has unlimited precision, so I think you're only limited by available memory.
sys.maxint is not the largest integer supported by python. It's the largest integer supported by python's regular integer type.
If you are using numpy, you can use dtype 'float128' and get a max float of 10e+4931
>>> np.finfo(np.float128)finfo(resolution=1e-18, min=-1.18973149536e+4932, max=1.18973149536e+4932, dtype=float128)
