Looking at it, I'd think the link titled "Real Number manipulation
Tools" would be especially helpful, however, it points to

ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib/Math/real-accurate.pyar

which does not exist. Instead, it is now in

ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/contrib-09-Dec-1999/DataStructures/real-accurate.pyar
