E = 2^(10^10)
works fine on the subsequent attempts. I wonder why the error on the first
attempt.

On a 64-bit machine I can compute 2^)10^10) with no trouble.
On a 32-bit machine I get a more explicit error message than you reported:
RuntimeError: exponent must be at most 2147483647
which answers your question. Note that this number is 2^31-1, and
that 10^10 is larger than that by a factor of about 4.6.

Please explain the reason for the error. Is the number too big? If so what
is the range of integer computability?
