Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
Mark, is some of the inaccuracy due to double rounding? Could we make
the two argument form more accurate by allowing the compiler to generate
code that uses full internal precision, log(n)/log(d), instead of
prematurely forcing the intermediate results to a PyFloat?
