One can try to define them :

from scipy.special import *
from swiginac import *

x = symbol('x')

def lpm(m,x):
    p = (x**2-1)**m
    return (1./(2**m*factorial(m))*p.diff(x,m))

def lpmn(m,n,x):
    p = lpm(n,x)
    return ((-1)**m*(1-x**2)**(m/2.)*p.diff(x,m))

print lpm(2,x)

>>>-0.5+(1.5)*x**2
Ok.

But :

u = arange(0,1,0.1)
print lpm(2,u)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./essai.py", line 20, in ?
    print lpm(2,u)
  File "./essai.py", line 11, in lpm
    return (1./(2**m*factorial(m))*p.diff(x,m))
AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'diff'

Any suggestion ?

Cheers,
