Thank you.

Sorry about that.

Are you looking for that particular algorithm, or for any
source that will find the roots of the polynomial?  The
original source for the algorithm used in the module is
from Hiroshi Murakami's Fortran source, and it shouldn't
be too difficult to repeat the translation process to python.
