maya script gives an error with the InverseRadical calculation

[jeroenVerdonschot]

When I try to launch the maya script Python throws an error:

RadicalIInverse function
Exception has occurred: OverflowError
int too large to convert to float

can this problem be a result of using python 3.6 instead of 2.7?

Can I use x**-1/2 and x**-1/3 to calculate the right values?

thanks

I am trying to get the script working in Blender and get the same error. Blender uses Python 3.6 instead of 2.7, so maybe it is related?
