I've never studied it deeply yet, but they pursue slightly different goal: more Python-oriented interface, GMP (MPIR) itself is hidden deep in the library's core. Af far as I understand their ideas, they want bignum library which relies either on native Python bignum capabilities (=portability) or on some hardware-optimized external library (+performance, -portability). X-MPIR, from the other side, adds nothing to interface (in fact, it drops several "hard" functions), but focuses on portability issues and on "easy-to-install/use" approach. Can't decide what would be better - to implement "yet another Python wrapper" with totally different interface and approach, or just to help GMPY devs to solve portability issues. Or may be it is better to do both :) -- With best regards, Sergey mailto:sergey.bochka...@alglib.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
