– Float, Float0, Float8, Float32, Float64
– Int, Int0, …8, …16, …32,
– Complex, …0, …16, …32, …64, …128
– PyObject
– Float0, Int0, Complex0 correspond to the smallest
possible sizes. Float8 is the smallest float with at least 8 bits,
Float16 that with at least 16 bits, etc.
– Float, Int, Complex correspond to the standard Python
datatypes (C double, C long int, two C doubles)
– Actual word length will depend on the platform.
– PyObject means “Python Object” – lose efficiency.
