Is Python reevaluating arithmetic operations with bignums each time the resut is used? -


okay, trying throw in large number evaluation on python - of order of 10^(10^120)- realized quite huge. anyways, receded 10**10**5 , 10**10**6. checking time difference of 2 brought me strange finding see inefficiency.

the finding when tried cprofile.run("x=10**10**6") took 0.3s , cprofile.run("print 10**10**6") took 40s.

then tried x= 10**10**6 took no time thereafter every time interpreted x (x followed enter) take long time (40s suppose). so, assuming every time interpret x calculates entire value on again.

so question is: isn't extremely inefficient? had declared variable in module, x= 10**10, , every time reference x python interpreter compute value of 10**10 on , on again ?

gory details appreciated.

the value not being recalculated each time print it, long delay see cost of converting large number string displaying.
