Python 3.1 is no longer maintained. I recommend that you upgrade to Python 3.1.

The module is written in C. The source code for the 3.1 version is here:

http://svn.python.org/view/python/branches/release31-maint/Modules/cmathmodule.c?view=markup

If you want the source for all parts of python written in C you can download the sourcecode at
