Hi all, some time ago I asked a question about a flaw in the Python extension/API under Linux but it seems to me I got no response. Meanwhile, I nevertheless have complied a tiny library of basic multiple-precision functions taken from the Python library mpmath. Though it was originally designed as a proof of concept of how to switch from the XLS-xNumbers combination to GNM plus some extension under Linux, it may be an inspiration to others. Here is the link to the corrsponding blog entry:

Comments are welcome... Regards Georg _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
