gmpy has moved to Google. http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/ gmpy only support the basic floating point operations so it may not be sufficient for your needs. A couple alternatives: 1) mpmath is a pure-Python, arbitrary precision floating-point package. It will be faster than Decimal but slower than gmpy. http://code.google.com/p/mpmath/ 2) Sage is an open-source mathematics software package. It uses Python as it glue/scripting language. It includes support for MPFR, a multiple-precision floating point library based on GMP. www.sagemath.org casevh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
