[Numpy-discussion] Float128 integer comparison

[Matthew Brett]

Hi,

Continuing the exploration of float128 - can anyone explain this behavior?

>>> np.float64(9223372036854775808.0) == 9223372036854775808L
True
>>> np.float128(9223372036854775808.0) == 9223372036854775808L
False
>>> int(np.float128(9223372036854775808.0)) == 9223372036854775808L
True
>>> np.round(np.float128(9223372036854775808.0)) == np.float128(9223372036854775808.0)
True

Thanks for any pointers,

Best,

Matthew
