Another day, another update. Latest code: http://umass.glexia.net/mpf.tar.bz2
There's been a couple minor changes externally:
a) MPF() now takes a float or integer argument because mpf_set_str is just
wacky and I haven't gotten it working properly yet. This does somewhat limit
the values you can pass to it, but strings will be added back later on. At that
point, you'll have a choice of initializing it with a tuple (base, sign, whole,
decimal), a string, a float, or an integer.
b) As a side effect of this, roundtripping doesn't work. Not that it ever
worked. But it's a bit further away right now.
Externally, the MPF_get function was rewritten from scratch (for the fourth
time). MPF_init was changed to use mpf_set_d instead of mpf_set_str because...
well, mpf_set_str is too wacky and unpredictable at the moment. I'm sorting
that out as we speak.
If you really want to see lots of internal information, use the build_debug.sh
script instead of setup.py. (Note that the directories already need to be in
place to compile this way.)
There's a test program which you can compile with the command:
gcc -o test test.c -lgmp
It's my scratchpad for working out new ideas before integrating them into the
extension. Currently, it contains a barebones version of MPF_get and a slew of
test cases, soon to be ported to Python. YES, there WILL be a test suite.
Question -- Does anyone know of a decent place to host this project? I'm really
lazy about updating project sites, so I'd like something simple offering
storage space and a bug tracker. I don't need SVN. I use git on my development
box, so that would be a bonus if someone knew of free project hosting with git.
