Despite RPL does not see speedup, this is a great optimization !
Can the sign flipping code be removed, and possibly gain some speed ?

Code:

>>> sum, k = 0, 35       # for 12 digits accuracy
>>> a = (1<<k) - 1       # k bits of 1
>>> while k > 0:
...     sum = 1/(a*k) - sum
...     a, k = a>>1, k-1
...
>>> print sum
