BTW - for "fun" I did my method of treating each digit as an element in a list, ran it in IDLE, Python 3.7, on a core i7 3.4GHz 16gig machine over the weekend. In 72 hours it got to about the 3.5 millionth power. Unfortunately it needs to get to the 17 billionth. Since by necessity it runs progressively slower (more digits to multiply) this method would not be done by December!
Again for fun I'm running overnight using iPython and numpy to see if that speeds things up, same computer.
