From 1d76e08db94e0760dafcbd22335340e783c9de5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zac Medico Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2007 02:50:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] For bug #188449, since python floats have limited range, we multiply both floating point representations by a constant so that they are transformed into whole numbers. This allows the practically infinite range of a python int to be exploited. The multiplication is done by padding both literal strings with zeros as necessary to ensure equal length.
