Python no of course, but C++ yes, and CPython is written in C++. However, I think the answer is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_double#Implementations Briefly, long double is not implemented in all hardwares, or its implementation is really different from machine to machine. I suppose this is why long double is not supported. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
