> I agree with Marc-Andre, people doing FP-heavy math in Python use Numpy (possibly with Numba, Cython or any other additional library). Micro-optimizing floating-point operations in the eval loop makes little sense IMO. Oh wait, I maybe misunderstood Marc-Andre comment. If the question is only on float: I'm ok to drop the fast-path for float. By the way, I would prefer to see PyLong_CheckExact() in the main loop, and only call fast_mul() if both operands are Python int.
