Agreed. Especially people who need complex gamma who aren’t dealing with arrays
(in which case you’d have to use scipy anyway).
Also, I suspect different uses might actually need diff
More a question for Mark Dickinson - he added math.gamma, not me ;-)
There was a bpo issue opened about this over 8 years ago, but it was
closed 6 years ago "due to lack of interest":

In general, adding hairy stuff to cmath is painful, and just
minimizing t
That's a question for Tim Peters.

Maybe you can start by publishing a Python implementation?

Since cmath module is implemented on C, and my C level is really basic, I do
not feel confident enough to submit a PR, but I encourage a more experienced
developer to do it. I must say too that I'm new to the python community,
therefore I don't know the following steps I should take. Thanks in a
I don't know, but maybe you can look into submitting a PR that adds
cmath.gamma? (I would first create an issue on bugs.python.org where you
can have more discussion about the PR.) Maybe when implementing it you'll
find the reason why it isn't defined yet...
