Question

Python help!

Answer 1

How do I increase the degree of accuracy in Python. Right now, for example:\[\frac{121}{3}=40.0000000\]
How do I right this?

Answer 2

http://packages.python.org/bigfloat/#id1 and how do I actually INSTALL this?

Answer 3

>>> 121 / 3.0
40.333333333333336


To install that package, just unpack it (if needed) and cd into it's directory and run: python setup.py install

Answer 4

Sorry, I'm useless- I don't know what that means! I've downloaded the zip files for bigfloat and and GMP and MPFR 'libraries' and extracted them onto my desktop. What do I do now?

Answer 5

In Terminal (or Command Prompt), type "cd " (without quotes).

Drag the folder that the downloaded files are in onto the window. That will give you the path to where the files are. Press enter/return.

Type the following command, and press enter/return.
python setup.py install

You really need to learn command line stuff if you're going to program.

Answer 6

I'm learning. Thanks!
