Practically speaking, the condition rand() < exp(dF / temp) is never
going to be satisfied if dF / temp <

As Christian said, whether you're using 32-bit or 64-bit shouldn't
make a difference here. Just use the f

Hello,
I'm trying to find a clean and reliable way of uncovering
information about 'extremal' values for floats on versions of Python
earlier than 2.6 (just 2.5 actually). I don't want to add a dependence

positive float
