Mpmath is a pure-Python library for multiprecision floating-point
arithmetic. It provides an extensive set of transcendental functions,
unlimited exponent sizes, complex numbers, interval arithmetic, numerical
integration and differentiation, root-finding, linear algebra, and much
more. Almost any calculation can be performed just as well at 10-digit or
1000-digit precision, and in many cases mpmath implements asymptotically
fast algorithms that scale well for extremely high precision work. Mpmath
internally uses Python's builtin long integers by default, but
automatically switches to <a href="http://gmplib.org/">GMP</a>/<a
href="http://www.mpir.org/">MPIR</a> for much faster high-precision
arithmetic if [http://code.google.com/p/gmpy gmpy] is installed or if
mpmath is imported from within [http://sagemath.org Sage].

-Mpmath is free (BSD license) and easy to install or include in other
software due to being written entirely in Python with no additional
required dependencies. It runs on Python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 (Python 3 is not
yet supported). It can be used as a library, interactively via the Python
interpreter, or via [http://code.google.com/p/sympy SymPy] which uses it
for numerical evaluation of symbolic expressions. Mpmath is also a standard
component of [http://sagemath.org Sage] which uses it for special function
evaluation.

If [http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ matplotlib] is available, mpmath
also provides a convenient plotting interface. The three images below were
generated by the commands `plot([fresnels, fresnelc])`, `cplot(fresnels)`,
and the [http://mpmath.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demo/mandelbrot.py
