I already compiled and installed the GNU multiprecision library

How do I link to the library from Python?
You know that Python already supports multiprecision integer arithmetic,
right? If you desperately want GMP, though, there's the gmpy module
(q.g.).
No, I do not know that. Define desperate.
Does Python support the extended Euclidean algorithm
and other number theory functions?
How fast does Python multiply?
Not that the latter is particularly important,
as C is built for speed.
I've been fooling around. Ran dir(gmpy), and
it does not show the full complement of GMP
library functions, such as the various division
functions. e.g. mpz_tdiv_qr.
There's also
http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxExperimental/mxNumber/. I'm not
sure how the functionality compares to GMPY.
