Also check out the gmpy library, lots of good number theory stuff
like factorial, gcd, lcm, linear congruence, is_prime, next_prime,
(I even found a use for the legendre function), etc.

(no factorization, I have Python call the MIRACL factor program when
I need that)

gmpy is so vital to my work that if they ever stop supporting it,
I will abandon Python.
