Hi In https://bugs.python.org/issue40028 , Ross Rhodes suggested adding to the standard library a function that finds the prime factors of a non-negative integer. So far as I know, any general algorithm for doing this requires a list of prime numbers. To this

Hello Serhiy, I support this proposal, thanks for sharing this thread in my enhancement proposal (issue #40028). I would be more than happy to help you where time permits in implementing this module if approval is granted. Ross ___ Python-ideas mailin
