i know the computational way to determine the number of bits of mantissa of float (have done it in C). i am wondering if there is some defined constant(s) or other way to get this more directly (across various platforms). i need to limit this to modules that come built in to Python. i want the effective mantissa (53 for x86 double) rather than the reserved space (52 for x86 double).
