I think you misunderstood. Its the sqrtsimple function that is failing:

File "/home/aleksandar/projects/ieee754fpu/src/add/fsqrt.py", line 88, in
<module>
    assert int(Q**0.5) == sqrtsimple(Q), "Q sqrtsimpl fail %d" % Q

So we use the regular sqrt func.

Yes i have it installed

>(this one with 2 nested for's, one for e one for m)
Will try to do it now
