Try mpMath (<http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/>) With version 0.7: >>> from mpmath import power, mpf >>> print power(-20,(1.0/3.0)) (1.35720880829745 + 2.3507546124512j) Or, to a precision of, say, 43: >>> mp.dps = 43 >>> print power(-20,(1.0/3.0)) (1.357208808297453347178047801626363199806658 + 2.350754612451197324056065041655768179779947j) Dick Moores ================================ UliPad <<The Python Editor>>: http://code.google.com/p/ulipad/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
