Unlimited-precision decimal math support in Python itself

I have a question towards the pure math support of Python. As far as I know, at some point the calculation is not precise enough in Python, given that the operands are large enough.

Is there some kind of unlimited precision support in Python the language itself, rather than importing a library like numpy? I'm asking for something like BigDecimal in Java, which supports unlimited precision of decimal calculation.

Have you looked at the decimal module? https://docs.python.org/2/library/decimal.html
