title: Python Number Limit
body: <p>I know in most, if not all programming languages, integers, floats etc all have a maximum amount they can hold, either unsigned or signed. Eg pascal's int type can only hold up to 32768 ~.</p>
  
  <p>What i wanted to know was, what is the limit on python's int and floating point variables. I tried a little program to produce extremely large numbers, but i ran into no errors. Does it even have limits on how big these variables can be ?</p>
  
  <p>I looked in the documentation and couldn't find what i was looking for :/</p>
  
  <p>Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks !</p>
