In PythonWin I'm running a program to find the 13th root (say) of millions of hundred-digit numbers. I'm using n = 13 root = base**(1.0/n) which correctly computes the root to a large number of decimal places, but therefore takes a long time. All I need is the integer component. Is there a quicker way?
