python浮点数精度,在Python中提高浮点精度

I was working on a project to compute the Leibniz approximation for pi with the below code:

def pi(precision):

sign = True

ret = 0

for i in range(1,precision+1):

odd = 2 * i - 1

if sign:

ret += 1.0 / odd

else:

ret -= 1.0 / odd

sign = not sign

return ret

However, the output value was always was 12 digits long. How can I increase the precision (e.g. more digits) of the calculation? Does Python support more precise floating points, or will I have to use some external library?

Try using Decimal.
