GMPY wraps the Gnu Multiple- precision library and includes support for rational arithmetic. I just tested a few calculations involving rational numbers with hundreds to thousands of digits and GMPY's mpq type was between 10x and 100x faster than fractions.Fractions. GMPY is availabe at http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/ casevh Disclaimer: I'm the current maintainer of GMPY. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
