I routinely use large numbers in my Collatz Conjecture work.
Really large. As in a quarter million bits. You wouldn't think
that the processor would make all that much difference. But
using the number is a doddle. The real trick is getting there.
There is a limitation that few encounter. In an ex

Yes, it does appear that the disk image on pytho.ord is defective
(maybe they made the image from an obsolete version?)
I installed Python 3.1 from macports and everything seems to work
now. (I never would have figured it out, althoug

Ok, so I got a MacBook Air.
Has OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and Python 2.6.1 already installed.
So I install Xcode, download macports and download gmpy-1.11rc1.
Following the instructions in mac_build.txt, I do the following:
- sudo /opt/local/bin/port install gmp
This works fine.
Then I do

Really? Does that mean you don't use literals, to save the time
required to convert them to integers? Isn't that done at compile
time?
