Here is the setup:

import mpmath
parametric_plot((lambda t: (20^(0.5+i*RR(t))).real(),lambda t:
(20^(0.5+i*RR(t))).imag()), (0,15),rgbcolor=hue(0.7))

A circle, as one would guess.

parametric_plot((lambda t: mpmath.li(20^(0.5+i*RR(t))).real,lambda t:
mpmath.li(20^(0.5+i*RR(t))).imag), (0,pi/2),rgbcolor=hue(0.7))

This should, in theory, give a plot of li(20^z) along the critical
line of the Riemann zeta function.  Unfortunately, as you will see if
you plot this, it succeeds until it hits a branch cut (I assume), and
does not look so nice, not to mention missing the actual interesting
behavior.

Is there any way to do this properly easily?  My guess is no, but I am
not expert with mpmath or other Sage pieces with Li implemented for
complex (like Pari).

Thanks,
