ISTM you wouldn't get zero if you scaled by 10**significant_digits (however many you require) before dividing. E.g., expected hits per trillion (or septillion or whatever) expresses probability too. Perhaps that could work in your calculation? Regards, Bengt Richter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
