Update: I have found a holy handgrenade.
I found something that seems to work fine for me - I've only tried it for 5 minutes but seems to work very smoothly. Open-source, Mozilla license, you know the drill... http://www.py2exe.org/ py2exe (the name makes me fall in love) creates some dll's for me containing python I guess. 2006-06-28 23:26 <DIR> . 2006-06-28 23:26 <DIR> .. 2005-09-28 13:41 77 824 bz2.pyd 2006-06-28 23:26 19 456 fib.exe 2006-06-28 23:26 641 449 library.zip 2003-02-21 04:42 348 160 MSVCR71.dll 2005-09-28 13:41 1 867 776 python24.dll 2005-09-28 13:41 405 504 unicodedata.pyd 2005-09-28 13:41 4 608 w9xpopen.exe 2005-09-28 13:41 69 632 zlib.pyd 8 File(s) 3 434 409 bytes My goal here is some kind of fibonacci stuff, preferably for dot net, but the extremely clean code in python (that deals with fibonaccinumbers that are large beyond being silly) dies in C*. I have to build my own sillyINT class and I don't like building sillyINT classes. Before I depress the enter button it finds that the number 123456789012345678901234567890123 has the nearest smaller and larger fibonacci numbers: 110560307156090817237632754212345 and 178890334785183168257455287891792. And my code remains hidden (I guess). Has someone tried some other (costless) holy handgrenade that does the trick? /Per Erik Strandberg yet another FibonacciNumerologist -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
