GMPY Description

Extension module that wraps the GMP library to provide to Python code fast multiprecision arithmetic GMPY (General Multiprecision PYthon) is a free, open source and C-coded Python extension module that wraps the GMP library to provide to Python code fast multiprecision arithmetic (integer, rational, and float), random number generation, advanced number-theoretical functions, and more.GMPY focuses on Python-usable modules providing multiprecision arithmetic functionality to Python programmers. The project mission includes both C and C++ Python-modules (for speed) and pure Python modules (for flexibility and convenience); it potentially includes integral, rational and floating-point arithmetic in any base. Only cross-platform functionality is of interest, at least for now.As there are many good existing free C and C++ libraries that address these issues, it is expected that most of the work of the GMPY project will involve wrapping, and exposing to Python, exactly these existing libraries (possibly with additional "convenience" wrappers written in Python itself).NOTE: GMPY is license and distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
