I'm pleased to announce the release of GMPY2 2.0.0. GMPY2 provides access to the GMP/MPIR, MPFR, and MPC arbitrary precision arithmetic libraries.

Highlights

• Support for correctly rounded arbitrary precision real arithmetic, including trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and special functions.

• Support for correctly rounded arbitrary precision complex arithmetic, including trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions.

• Support for contexts that control precision, rounding modes, exponent limits, and the behavior of exceptions.

• Support for various pseudoprime tests. (Based on code by David Cleaver.)

• Support for a mutable (!) integer type that supports the slice syntax to read/write individual bits. Read-only slicing is supported on the standard integer type.

Compatibility with GMPY

GMPY2 is the successor to GMPY. The behavior of some functions in GMPY conflicted with the expected behavior of real/complex arithmetic. In GMPY, sqrt() returned an integer result. In GMPY2, sqrt() returns a real/complex value and isqrt() returns an integer. The development versions of mpmath and Sympy support GMPY2.
