Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment:

Mark, is some of the inaccuracy due to double rounding?  Could we make
the two argument form more accurate by allowing the compiler to generate
code that uses full internal precision, log(n)/log(d), instead of
prematurely forcing the intermediate results to a PyFloat?
