+"""Generate and test for small primes using a variety of algorithms
+implemented in pure Python.
+
+This module includes functions for generating prime numbers, primality
+testing, and factorising numbers into prime factors. Prime numbers are
+positive integers with no factors other than themselves and 1.
+
+
+Generating prime numbers
+========================
+
+To generate an unending stream of prime numbers, use the ``primes()``
+generator function:
+
+    primes():
+        Yield prime numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, ...
+
+
+    >>> p = primes()
+    >>> [next(p) for _ in range(10)]
+    [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29]
+
+
+To efficiently generate pairs of (isprime(i), i) for integers i, use the
+generator functions ``checked_ints()`` and ``checked_oddints()``:
+
+    checked_ints()
+        Yield pairs of (isprime(i), i) for i=0,1,2,3,4,5...
+
+    checked_oddints()
+        Yield pairs of (isprime(i), i) for odd i=1,3,5,7...
+
+
+    >>> it = checked_ints()
+    >>> [next(it) for _ in range(5)]
+    [(False, 0), (False, 1), (True, 2), (True, 3), (False, 4)]
+
+
+Other convenience functions wrapping ``primes()`` are:
+
+    ------------------  ----------------------------------------------------
+    Function            Description
+    ------------------  ----------------------------------------------------
+    nprimes(n)          Yield the first n primes, then stop.
+    nth_prime(n)        Return the nth prime number.
+    prime_count(x)      Return the number of primes less than or equal to x.
+    primes_below(x)     Yield the primes less than or equal to x.
+    primes_above(x)     Yield the primes strictly greater than x.
+    primesum(n)         Return the sum of the first n primes.
+    primesums()         Yield the partial sums of the prime numbers.
+    ------------------  ----------------------------------------------------
+
+
+Primality testing
+=================
+
+These functions test whether numbers are prime or not. Primality tests fall
+into two categories: exact tests, and probabilistic tests.
+
+Exact tests are guaranteed to give the correct result, but may be slow,
+particularly for large arguments. Probabilistic tests do not guarantee
+correctness, but may be much faster for large arguments.
+
+To test whether an integer is prime, use the ``isprime`` function:
+
+    isprime(n)
+        Return True if n is prime, otherwise return False.
+
+
+    >>> isprime(101)
+    True
+    >>> isprime(102)
+    False
+
+
+Exact primality tests are:
+
+    isprime_naive(n)
+        Naive and slow trial division test for n being prime.
+
+    isprime_division(n)
+        A less naive trial division test for n being prime.
+
+    isprime_regex(n)
+        Uses a regex to test if n is a prime number.
+
+        .. NOTE:: ``isprime_regex`` should be considered a novelty
+           rather than a serious test, as it is very slow.
+
+
+Probabilistic tests do not guarantee correctness, but can be faster for
+large arguments. There are two probabilistic tests:
+
+    fermat(n [, base])
+        Fermat primality test, returns True if n is a weak probable
+        prime to the given base, otherwise False.
+
+    miller_rabin(n [, base])
+        Miller-Rabin primality test, returns True if n is a strong
+        probable prime to the given base, otherwise False.
+
+
+Both guarantee no false negatives: if either function returns False, the
+number being tested is certainly composite. However, both are subject to false
+positives: if they return True, the number is only possibly prime.
+
+
+    >>> fermat(12400013)  # composite 23*443*1217
+    False
+    >>> miller_rabin(14008971)  # composite 3*947*4931
+    False
+
+
+Prime factorisation
+===================
+
+These functions return or yield the prime factors of an integer.
+
+    factors(n)
+        Return a list of the prime factors of n.
+
+    factorise(n)
+        Yield tuples (factor, count) for n.
+
+
+The ``factors(n)`` function lists repeated factors:
+
+
+    >>> factors(37*37*109)
+    [37, 37, 109]
+
+
+The ``factorise(n)`` generator yields a 2-tuple for each unique factor, giving
+the factor itself and the number of times it is repeated:
+
+    >>> list(factorise(37*37*109))
+    [(37, 2), (109, 1)]
+
+
+Alternative and toy prime number generators
+===========================================
+
+These functions are alternative methods of generating prime numbers. Unless
+otherwise stated, they generate prime numbers lazily on demand. These are
+supplied for educational purposes and are generally slower or less efficient
+than the preferred ``primes()`` generator.
+
+    --------------  --------------------------------------------------------
+    Function        Description
+    --------------  --------------------------------------------------------
+    croft()         Yield prime numbers using the Croft Spiral sieve.
+    erat(n)         Return primes up to n by the sieve of Eratosthenes.
+    sieve()         Yield primes using the sieve of Eratosthenes.
+    cookbook()      Yield primes using "Python Cookbook" algorithm.
+    wheel()         Yield primes by wheel factorization.
+    --------------  --------------------------------------------------------
+
+    .. TIP:: In the current implementation, the fastest of these
+       generators is aliased as ``primes()``.

+    ``miller_rabin(n, base)`` is a probabilistic test for primality which
+    returns True if integer n is a strong probable prime to the given integer
+    base, otherwise n is definitely composite and False is returned.
+
+    ``base`` must be a positive integer between 1 and n-1 inclusive, or a
+    tuple of such bases. By default, base=2.
+
+    If ``miller_rabin`` returns False, that is definite proof that n is
+    composite: there are no false negatives. However, if it returns True,
+    that is only provisional evidence that n is prime:
+
+    >>> miller_rabin(99, 7)
+    False
+    >>> miller_rabin(29, 7)
+    True
+
+    We can conclude from this that 99 is definitely composite, and that 29 is
+    possibly prime.
+
+    As the Miller-Rabin test is probabilistic, composite numbers will
+    sometimes pass one or more tests:
+
+    >>> miller_rabin(3*11*17, 103)  # 3*11*17=561, the 1st Carmichael number.
+    True
+
+    You can perform multiple tests with a single call by passing a tuple of
+    ints as ``base``. The number must pass the Miller-Rabin test for each of
+    the bases before it will return True. If any test fails, ``miller_rabin``
+    will return False.
+
+    >>> miller_rabin(41041, (16, 92, 100, 256))  # 41041 = 7*11*13*41
+    True
+    >>> miller_rabin(41041, (16, 92, 100, 256, 288))
+    False
+
+    If a number passes ``k`` Miller-Rabin tests, we can conclude that the
+    probability that it is a prime number is at least ``1 - (1/4**k)``.
