[Numpy-discussion] Seeking hypergeometric 2F1 algorithm

[Mark Esplin]

	The Gaussian hypergeometric function 2F1 is included with other 
special functions in the  cephes-1.3 package. See 
http://pylab.sourceforge.net  I haven't used the hypergeometric 
function, but the Bessel functions work well with Numerical Python.

Does anyone have an agorithm for computing the Gaussian hypergeometric
function 2F1 ?

I understand that in principle it should be easy (sum of a series), but
 I think that there is a more efficient way to calculate it.  My
 algorithmic skills are not up to it.

Thanks,
Herb
