Anyone know of a machine learning library for python, that supports Decimal module?

    Decimal is built on top of floats, just work with numpy
    Dont even know what you want to achieve

    @McSebi if decimal is built on floats, how is it that se can set precision higher in Decimal than standard floats support?

    Reason I'm asking is because I may have to handle variables with more than 128bit precision during training and classification of some data.

    Why would you need such insane precision in machine learning? If 64 bit float isn't enough, it seems to me you're solving the wrong problem

    @Lucky-Loek need greater than 64 bit precision, because the training data has entries with significantly more digits than 64 bits will cover.

    There's no half measure here. Although I considered conversion to strings of characters, or chunking, or some sort of hashing/minifying scheme. I wanted to try the naive approach first instead of prematurely optimizing.

    Sounds like there is one you make one
