INTRODUCTION TO GMPY2

       gmpy2  is  a  C-coded Python extension module that supports multiple-precision arithmetic.
       gmpy2 is the successor to the original gmpy module. The gmpy module only supported the GMP
       multiple-precision  library.  gmpy2  adds  support  for  the  MPFR (correctly rounded real
       floating-point arithmetic) and MPC (correctly rounded complex  floating-point  arithmetic)
       libraries.  gmpy2  also  updates  the API and naming conventions to be more consistent and
       support the additional functionality.

       The following libraries are supported:

       · GMP for integer and rational arithmetic

         Home page: http://gmplib.org

       · MPIR is based on the  GMP  library  but  adds  support  for  Microsoft's  Visual  Studio
         compiler. It is used to create the Windows binaries.

         Home page: http://www.mpir.org

       · MPFR for correctly rounded real floating-point arithmetic

         Home page: http://www.mpfr.org

       · MPC for correctly rounded complex floating-point arithmetic

         Home page: http://mpc.multiprecision.org

       · Generalized Lucas sequences and primality tests are based on the following code:

         mpz_lucas: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpzlucas/

         mpz_prp: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpzprp/

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.4
       · Fixed bit_scan0() for negative values.

       · Added option to setup.py (--static) to support static linking.

       · Manpage is now installed in section 3.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.3
       · Fixed bugs in lucas2() and atanh() that caused incorrect results.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.2
       · Rebuild the Windows binary installers due to a bug in MPIR.

       · Correct  test  in  is_extra_strong_lucas_prp(). Note: The incorrect test is not known to
         cause any errors.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.1
       · Updated setup.py to work in more situations.

       · Corrected exception handling in basic operations with mpfr type.

       · Correct InvalidOperation exception not raised in certain circumstances.

       · invert() now raises an exception if the modular inverse does not exist.

       · Fixed internal exception in is_bpsw_prp() and is_strong_bpsw_prp().

       · Updated is_extra_strong_lucas_prp() to latest version.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0
       · Fix  segmentation  fault  in  _mpmath_normalize   (an   undocumented   helper   function
         specifically for mpmath.)

       · Improved setup.py See below for documentation on the changes.

       · Fix issues when compiled without support for MPFR.

       · Conversion  of  too  large an mpz to float now raises OverflowError instead of returning
         inf.

       · Renamed min2()/max2() to minnum()/maxnum()

       · The build and install process (i.e. setup.py) has been completely  rewritten.   See  the
         Installation section for more information.

       · get_context() no longer accepts keyword arguments.

   Known issues in gmpy2 2.0.0
       · The test suite is still incomplete.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b4
       · Added __ceil__, __floor__, __trunc__, and __round__ methods to mpz and mpq types.

       · Added __complex__ to mpc type.

       · round(mpfr) now correctly returns an mpz type.

       · If  no arguments are given to mpz, mpq, mpfr, mpc, and xmpz, return 0 of the appropriate
         type.

       · Fix broken comparison between mpz and mpq when mpz is on the left.

       · Added __sizeof__ to all types. Note: sys.getsizeof() calls __sizeof__ to get the  memory
         size  of  a  gmpy2  object. The returned value reflects the size of the allocated memory
         which may be larger than the actual minimum memory required by the object.

   Known issues in gmpy2 2.0.0b4
       · The new test suite (test/runtest.py) is incomplete and some tests fail on Python 2.x due
         to formating issues.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b3
       · mp_version(),  mpc_version(), and mpfr_version() now return normal strings on Python 2.x
         instead of Unicode strings.

       · Faster conversion of the standard library Fraction type to mpq.

       · Improved conversion of the Decimal type to mpfr.

       · Consistently return OverflowError when converting "inf".

       · Fix mpz.__format__() when the format code includes "#".

       · Add is_infinite() and deprecate is_inf().

       · Add is_finite() and deprecate is_number().

       · Fixed the various is_XXX() tests when used with mpc.

       · Added caching for mpc objects.

       · Faster code path for basic operation is both operands are mpfr or mpc.

       · Fix mpfr + float segmentation fault.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b2
       · Allow xmpz slice assignment to increase length of xmpz instance by  specifying  a  value
         for stop.

       · Fixed reference counting bug in several is_xxx_prp() tests.

       · Added iter_bits(), iter_clear(), iter_set() methods to xmpz.

       · Added powmod() for easy access to three argument pow().

       · Removed  addmul()  and  submul()  which were added in 2.0.0b1 since they are slower than
         just using Python code.

       · Bug fix in gcd_ext when both arguments are not mpz.

       · Added ieee() to create contexts for 32, 64, or 128 bit floats.

       · Bug fix in context() not setting emax/emin correctly if they had been changed earlier.

       · Contexts   can   be   directly   used    in    with    statement    without    requiring
         set_context()/local_context() sequence.

       · local_context() now accepts an optional context.

   Changes in gmpy2 2.0.0b1 and earlier
       · Renamed   functions   that  manipulate  individual  bits  to  bit_XXX()  to  align  with
         bit_length().

       · Added caching for mpq.

       · Added rootrem(), fib2(), lucas(), lucas2().

       · Support changed hash function in Python 3.2.

       · Added is_even(), is_odd().

       · Add caching of the calculated hash value.

       · Add xmpz (mutable mpz) type.

       · Fix mpq formatting issue.

       · Add read/write bit access using slices to xmpz.

       · Add read-only bit access using slices to mpz.

       · Add pack()/unpack() methods to split/join an integer into n-bit chunks.

       · Add support for MPFR (casevh)

       · Removed fcoform float conversion modifier.

       · Add support for MPC.

       · Added context manager.

       · Allow building with just GMP/MPIR if MPFR not available.

       · Allow building with GMP/MPIR and MPFR if MPC not available.

       · Removed most instance methods in favor of gmpy2.function. The general guideline is  that
         properties  of  an instance can be done via instance methods but functions that return a
         new result are done using gmpy2.function.

       · Added __ceil__, __floor__, and __trunc__ methods since they are called  by  math.ceil(),
         math.floor(), and math.trunc().

       · Removed gmpy2.pow() to avoid conflicts.

       · Removed gmpy2._copy and added xmpz.copy.

       · Added support for __format__.

       · Added as_integer_ratio, as_mantissa_exp, as_simple_fraction.

       · Updated rich_compare.

       · Added fsum(), degrees(), radians().

       · Updated random number generation support.

       · Changed license to LGPL 3+.

       · Added  lucasu,  lucasu_mod,  lucasv, and lucasv_mod.  Based on code contributed by David
         Cleaver.

       · Added probable-prime tests.  Based on code contributed by David Cleaver.

       · Added to_binary()/from_binary.

       · Renamed numdigits() to num_digits().

       · Added keyword precision to constants.

       · Added addmul() and submul().

       · Added __round__(), round2(), round_away() for mpfr.

       · round() is no longer a module level function.

       · Renamed module functions min()/max() to min2()/max2().

       · No longer conflicts with builtin min() and max()

       · Removed set_debug() and related functionality.

INSTALLATION

   Installing gmpy2 on Windows
       Pre-compiled versions of gmpy2 are available at PyPi . Please select  the  installer  that
       corresponds to the version of Python installed on your computer.  Note that either a 32 or
       64-bit version of Python can be installed on a 64-bit version of Windows. If  you  get  an
       error  message  stating that Python could not be found in the registry, you have the wrong
       version of the gmpy2 installer.

   Installing gmpy2 on Unix/Linux
   Requirements
       gmpy2 has only been tested with recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC.   Specifically,  for
       integer   and   rational   support,   gmpy2  requires  GMP  5.1.x  or  later.  To  support
       multiple-precision floating point arithmetic, MPFR 3.1.x or later is required.  MPC  1.0.1
       or later is required for complex arithmetic.

   Short Instructions
       You  will  need  to  install  the  development  libraries  for Python, GMP, MPFR, and MPC.
       Different Linux distributions may the development packages differently.  Typical names are
       libpython-dev, libgmp-dev, libmpfr-dev, and libmpc-dev.

       If your system includes recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC, and you have the development
       libraries installed, compiling should be as simple as:

          cd <gmpy2 source directory>
          python setup.py build
          sudo python setup.py install

       If this fails, read on.

   Detailed Instructions
       If your Linux distribution does not support recent versions of GMP, MPFR and MPC, you will
       need  to compile your own versions. To avoid any possible conflict with existing libraries
       on your system,  it  is  recommended  to  use  a  directory  not  normally  used  by  your
       distribution.  setup.py  will  automatically  search  the  following  directories  for the
       required libraries:

          1. /opt/local

          2. /opt

          3. /usr/local

          4. /usr

          5. /sw

       If you can't use one of these directories, you can use a directory located  in  your  home
       directory.  The  examples  will  use  /home/<username>/local.  If  you use one of standard
       directories (say /opt/local), then you won't need to specify --prefix=/home/case/local  to
       setup.py but you will need to specify the prefix when compiling GMP, MPFR, and MPC.

       Please substitute your actual user name for <username>.

       Create the desired destination directory for GMP, MPFR, and MPC.

          $ mkdir /home/<username>/local

       Download  and  un-tar  the GMP source code. Change to the GMP source directory and compile
       GMP.

          $ cd /home/<username>/local/src/gmp-6.0.0
          $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/local
          $ make
          $ make check
          $ make install

       Download and un-tar the MPFR source code. Change to the MPFR source directory and  compile
       MPFR.

          $ cd /home/<username>/local/src/mpfr-3.1.2
          $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/local --with-gmp=/home/<username>/local
          $ make
          $ make check
          $ make install

       Download  and  un-tar  the MPC source code. Change to the MPC source directory and compile
       MPC.

          $ cd /home/<username>/local/src/mpc-1.0.2
          $ ./configure --prefix=/home/<username>/local --with-gmp=/home/<username>/local --with-mpfr=/home/<username>/local
          $ make
          $ make check
          $ make install

       Compile gmpy2 and specify the location of GMP, MPFR and MPC.  The  location  of  the  GMP,
       MPFR,  and  MPC  libraries  is embedded into the gmpy2 library so the new versions of GMP,
       MPFR, and MPC do not need to be installed  the  system  library  directories.  The  prefix
       directory  is  added  to  the  beginning of the directories that are checked so it will be
       found first.

          $ python setup.py install --prefix=/home/<username>/local

       If you get a "permission denied" error message, you may need to use:

          $ python setup.py build --prefix=/home/<username>/local
          $ sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/home/<username>/local

   Options for setup.py
       --force
              Ignore the timestamps on all files  and  recompile.  Normally,  the  results  of  a
              previous  compile are cached. To force gmpy2 to recognize external changes (updated
              version of GMP, etc.), you will need to use this option.

       --mpir Force the use of MPIR instead of GMP. GMP is the  default  library  on  non-Windows
              operating systems.

       --gmp  Force  the  use  of  GMP  instead  of  MPIR. MPIR is the default library on Windows
              operating systems.

       --prefix=<...>
              Specify the directory prefix  where  GMP/MPIR,  MPFR,  and  MPC  are  located.  For
              example,  --prefix=/opt/local  instructs  setup.py to search /opt/local/include for
              header files and /opt/local/lib for libraries.

       --nompfr
              Disables support for MPFR and MPC. This option is intended for testing purposes and
              is not offically supported. MPFR will be required for future versions of gmpy2.

       --nompc
              Disables  support  for MPC. This option is intended for testing purposes and is not
              officially supported. MPC will be required for future versions of gmpy2.

       --static
              Builds a statically linked library. This option will  likely  require  the  use  of
              --prefix=<...> to specify the directory where the static libraries are located.  To
              successfully link with gmpy2, the GMP, MPFR, and MPC  libraries  must  be  compiled
              with the --with-pic option.

OVERVIEW OF GMPY2

   Tutorial
       The mpz type is compatible with Python's built-in int/long type but is significanly faster
       for large values. The cutover point for performance varies, but can be as low as 20 to  40
       digits. A variety of additional integer functions are provided.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpz,mpq,mpfr,mpc
          >>> mpz(99) * 43
          mpz(4257)
          >>> pow(mpz(99), 37, 59)
          mpz(18)
          >>> gmpy2.isqrt(99)
          mpz(9)
          >>> gmpy2.isqrt_rem(99)
          (mpz(9), mpz(18))
          >>> gmpy2.gcd(123,27)
          mpz(3)
          >>> gmpy2.lcm(123,27)
          mpz(1107)

       The mpq type is compatible with the fractions.Fraction type included with Python.

          >>> mpq(3,7)/7
          mpq(3,49)
          >>> mpq(45,3) * mpq(11,8)
          mpq(165,8)

       The  most  significant  new  features in gmpy2 are support for correctly rounded arbitrary
       precision real and complex arithmetic based on the MPFR and MPC libraries. Floating  point
       contexts  are  used  to control exceptional conditions.  For example, division by zero can
       either return an Infinity or raise an exception.

          >>> mpfr(1)/7
          mpfr('0.14285714285714285')
          >>> gmpy2.get_context().precision=200
          >>> mpfr(1)/7
          mpfr('0.1428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571428571',200)

   Miscellaneous gmpy2 Functions
       from_binary(...)
              from_binary(bytes)  returns  a  gmpy2  object  from  a  byte  sequence  created  by
              to_binary().

       get_cache(...)
              get_cache() returns the current cache size (number of objects) and the maximum size
              per object (number of limbs).

              gmpy2 maintains an internal list of freed mpz, xmpz, mpq, mpfr, and mpc objects for
              reuse.  The  cache significantly improves performance but also increases the memory
              footprint.

       license(...)
              license() returns the gmpy2 license information.

       mp_limbsize(...)
              mp_limbsize() returns the number of bits per limb used by the GMP or MPIR libarary.

       mp_version(...)
              mp_version() returns the version of the GMP or MPIR library.

       mpc_version(...)
              mpc_version() returns the version of the MPC library.

       mpfr_version(...)
              mpfr_version() returns the version of the MPFR library.

       random_state(...)
              random_state([seed]) returns a new object  containing  state  information  for  the
              random  number generator. An optional integer argument can be specified as the seed
              value. Only the Mersenne Twister random number generator is supported.

       set_cache(...)
              set_cache(number, size) updates the maximum number of freed objects  of  each  type
              that  are cached and the maximum size (in limbs) of each object. The maximum number
              of objects of each type that can be cached is 1000. The maximum size of  an  object
              is  16384. The maximum size of an object is approximately 64K on 32-bit systems and

              NOTE:
                 The caching options are global to gmpy2. Changes are not thread-safe.  A  change
                 in one thread will impact all threads.

       to_binary(...)
              to_binary(x)  returns  a  byte  sequence  from a gmpy2 object. All object types are
              supported.

       version(...)
              version() returns the version of gmpy2.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION INTEGERS

       The gmpy2 mpz  type  supports  arbitrary  precision  integers.  It  should  be  a  drop-in
       replacement  for Python's long type. Depending on the platform and the specific operation,
       an mpz will be faster than Python's long once the precision exceeds 20 to 50  digits.  All
       the special integer functions in GMP are supported.

   Examples
          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpz
          >>> mpz('123') + 1
          mpz(124)
          >>> 10 - mpz(1)
          mpz(9)
          >>> gmpy2.is_prime(17)
          True

       NOTE:
          The  use of from gmpy2 import * is not recommended. The names in gmpy2 have been chosen
          to avoid conflict with Python's builtin  names  but  gmpy2  does  use  names  that  may
          conflict with other modules or variable names.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION INTEGERS (ADVANCED TOPICS)

   The xmpz type
       gmpy2 provides access to an experimental integer type called xmpz.  The  xmpz  type  is  a
       mutable  integer  type. In-place operations (+=, //=, etc.)  modify the orignal object and
       do not create a new object. Instances of xmpz cannot be used as dictionary keys.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import xmpz
          >>> a = xmpz(123)
          >>> b = a
          >>> a += 1
          >>> a
          xmpz(124)
          >>> b
          xmpz(124)

       The ability to change  an  xmpz  object  in-place  allows  for  efficient  and  rapid  bit
       manipulation.

       Individual bits can be set or cleared:

          >>> a[10]=1
          >>> a
          xmpz(1148)

       Slice  notation  is supported. The bits referenced by a slice can be either 'read from' or
       'written to'. To clear a slice of bits, use a source value of 0. In 2s-complement  format,
       0  is  represented  by an arbitrary number of 0-bits. To set a slice of bits, use a source
       value of ~0. The tilde operator inverts, or complements the bits in an integer. (~0 is  -1
       so you can also use -1.) In 2s-complement format, -1 is represented by an arbitrary number
       of 1-bits.

       If a value for stop is specified in a slice assignment and the actual  bit-length  of  the
       xmpz  is  less  than  stop,  then  the destination xmpz is logically padded with 0-bits to
       length stop.

          >>> a=xmpz(0)
          >>> a[8:16] = ~0
          >>> bin(a)
          '0b1111111100000000'
          >>> a[4:12] = ~a[4:12]
          >>> bin(a)
          '0b1111000011110000'

       Bits can be reversed:

          >>> bin(a)
          '0b10001111100'
          >>> a[::] = a[::-1]
          >>> bin(a)
          '0b111110001'

       The iter_bits() method returns a generator  that  returns  True  or  False  for  each  bit
       position.  The  methods iter_clear(), and iter_set() return generators that return the bit
       positions that are 1 or 0. The methods support arguments start and stop  that  define  the
       beginning and ending bit positions that are used. To mimic the behavior of slices. the bit
       positions checked include start but the last position checked is stop - 1.

          >>> a=xmpz(117)
          >>> bin(a)
          '0b1110101'
          >>> list(a.iter_bits())
          [True, False, True, False, True, True, True]
          >>> list(a.iter_clear())
          [1, 3]
          >>> list(a.iter_set())
          [0, 2, 4, 5, 6]
          >>> list(a.iter_bits(stop=12))
          [True, False, True, False, True, True, True, False, False, False, False, False]

   Advanced Number Theory Functions
       The following functions are based on mpz_lucas.c and mpz_prp.c by David Cleaver.

              is_strong_bpsw_prp(n)     will     return     True     if    n    is    a    strong
              Baillie-Pomerance-Selfridge-Wagstaff probable prime. A strong BPSW  probable  prime
              passes the is_strong_prp() test with base 2 and the is_strongselfridge_prp() test.

       is_strong_lucas_prp(...)
              is_strong_lucas_prp(n,p,q)  will  return True if n is a strong Lucas probable prime

                n = s*(2**r) + Jacobi(D,n), s odd

                lucasv(p,q,s*(2**t)) == 0 (mod n) for some t, 0 <= t < r

       is_strong_prp(...)
              is_strong_prp(n,a) will return True if n is an strong (also known as  Miller-Rabin)
              probable prime to the base a.
              Assuming:
                gcd(n,a) == 1

              equal to 0; n must be greater than 0.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION RATIONALS

       gmpy2 provides a rational  type  call  mpq.  It  should  be  a  replacement  for  Python's
       fractions.Fraction module.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpq
          >>> mpq(1,7)
          mpq(1,7)
          >>> mpq(1,7) * 11
          mpq(11,7)
          >>> mpq(11,7)/13
          mpq(11,91)

   mpq Methods
       digits(...)
              x.digits([base=10])  returns a Python string representing x in the given base (2 to
              62, default is 10). A leading '-' is present if x  <  0,  but  no  leading  '+'  is
              present if x >= 0.

   mpq Attributes
       denominator
              x.denomintor returns the denominator of x.

       numerator
              x.numerator returns the numerator of x.

   mpq Functions
       add(...)
              add(x, y) returns x + y. The result type depends on the input types.

       div(...)
              div(x, y) returns x / y. The result type depends on the input types.

       f2q(...)
              f2q(x[,  err])  returns  the best mpq approximating x to within relative error err.
              Default is the precision of x. If x is not an mpfr, it is  converted  to  an  mpfr.
              Uses  Stern-Brocot  tree  to find the best approximation. An mpz is returned if the
              the denominator is 1. If err < 0, then the relative error sought is 2.0 ** err.

       mpq(...)
              mpq() returns an mpq object set to 0/1.

              mpq(n) returns an mpq object with a numeric value n. Decimal  and  Fraction  values
              are converted exactly.

              mpq(n, m) returns an mpq object with a numeric value n / m.

              mpq(s[,  base=10])  returns  an mpq object from a string s made up of digits in the
              given base. s may be made up of two numbers in the same base  separated  by  a  '/'
              character.  If  base  == 10, then an embedded '.' indicates a number with a decimal
              fractional part.

       mul(...)
              mul(x, y) returns x * y. The result type depends on the input types.

       qdiv(...)
              qdiv(x[, y=1]) returns x/y as mpz if possible, or  as  mpq  if  x  is  not  exactly
              divisible by y.

       sub(...)
              sub(x, y) returns x - y. The result type depends on the input types.

MULTIPLE-PRECISION REALS

       gmpy2  replaces the mpf type from gmpy 1.x with a new mpfr type based on the MPFR library.
       The new  mpfr  type  supports  correct  rounding,  selectable  rounding  modes,  and  many
       trigonometric,  exponential,  and  special functions. A context manager is used to control
       precision, rounding modes, and the behavior of exceptions.

       The default precision of an mpfr is 53 bits - the same precision as Python's  float  type.
       If  the  precison  is  changed,  then mpfr(float('1.2')) differs from mpfr('1.2'). To take
       advantage of the higher precision provided by the mpfr  type,  always  pass  constants  as
       strings.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpfr
          >>> mpfr('1.2')
          mpfr('1.2')
          >>> mpfr(float('1.2'))
          mpfr('1.2')
          >>> gmpy2.get_context().precision=100
          >>> mpfr('1.2')
          mpfr('1.2000000000000000000000000000006',100)
          >>> mpfr(float('1.2'))
          mpfr('1.1999999999999999555910790149937',100)
          >>>

   Contexts
       WARNING:
          Contexts  and context managers are not thread-safe! Modifying the context in one thread
          will impact all other threads.

       A context is used to control the behavior of mpfr and  mpc  arithmetic.   In  addition  to
       controlling  the  precision,  the  rounding  mode  can  be  specified, minimum and maximum
       exponent values can be changed, various exceptions  can  be  raised  or  ignored,  gradual
       underflow can be enabled, and returning complex results can be enabled.

       gmpy2.context()   creates   a   new   context   with   all   options   set   to   default.
       gmpy2.set_context(ctx) will set the  active  context  to  ctx.   gmpy2.get_context()  will
       return  a  reference  to the active context. Note that contexts are mutable: modifying the
       reference returned by get_context() will modify the active context until a new context  is
       enabled  with  set_context().  The  copy()  method  of a context will return a copy of the
       context.

       The following example just modifies the precision. The remaining options will be discussed
       later.

          >>> gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.context())

   Context Attributes
       precision
              This attribute controls the precision of an mpfr result. The precision is specified
              in bits, not decimal digits.  The  maximum  precision  that  can  be  specified  is
              platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_max_precision().

       NOTE:
          Specifying  a value for precision that is too close to the maximum precision will cause
          the MPFR library to fail.

       real_prec
              This attribute controls the precision of the real part of an mpc  result.   If  the
              value is Default, then the value of the precision attribute is used.

       imag_prec
              This  attribute  controls  the precision of the imaginary part of an mpc result. If
              the value is Default, then the value of real_prec is used.

       round  There are five rounding modes availble to mpfr types:

              RoundAwayZero
                     The result is rounded away from 0.0.

              RoundDown
                     The result is rounded towards -Infinity.

              RoundToNearest
                     Round to the nearest value; ties are rounded to an even value.

              RoundToZero
                     The result is rounded towards 0.0.

              RoundUp
                     The result is rounded towards +Infinity.

       real_round
              This attribute controls the rounding mode for the real part of an  mpc  result.  If
              the  value  is  Default,  then  the  value  of  the  round attribute is used. Note:
              RoundAwayZero is not a valid rounding mode for mpc.

       imag_round
              This attribute controls the rounding mode for the imaginary part of an mpc  result.
              If  the value is Default, then the value of the real_round attribute is used. Note:
              RoundAwayZero is not a valid rounding mode for mpc.

       emax   This attribute controls the maximum  allowed  exponent  of  an  mpfr  result.   The
              maximum exponent is platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_emax_max().

       emin   This  attribute  controls  the  minimum  allowed  exponent  of an mpfr result.  The
              minimum exponent is platform dependent and can be retrieved with get_emin_min().

       NOTE:
          It is possible to change the values of emin/emax such that previous mpfr values are  no
          longer  valid numbers but should either underflow to +/-0.0 or overflow to +/-Infinity.
          To raise an exception if this occurs, see trap_expbound.

       subnormalize
              The usual IEEE-754 floating point representation supports  gradual  underflow  when
              the minimum exponent is reached. The MFPR library does not enable gradual underflow
              by default but it can be  enabled  to  precisely  mimic  the  results  of  IEEE-754
              floating point operations.

       trap_underflow
              If set to False, a result that is smaller than the smallest possible mpfr given the
              current  exponent  range  will  be  replaced  by  +/-0.0.  If  set  to   True,   an
              UnderflowResultError exception is raised.

       underflow
              This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a result underflowed
              to +/-0.0 and trap_underflow is False.

       trap_overflow
              If set to False, a result that is larger than the largest possible mpfr  given  the
              current  exponent  range  will  be  replaced  by  +/-Infinity.  If  set to True, an
              OverflowResultError exception is raised.

       overflow
              This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a result  overflowed
              to +/-Infinity and trap_overflow is False.

       trap_inexact
              This attribute controls whether or not an InexactResultError exception is raised if
              an inexact result is returned. To check if the result is greater or less  than  the
              exact result, check the rc attribute of the mpfr result.

       inexact
              This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically set if an inexact result is
              returned.

       trap_invalid
              This attribute controls whether or not an InvalidOperationError exception is raised
              if  a  numerical  result is not defined. A special NaN (Not-A-Number) value will be
              returned if an exception is not raised.  The InvalidOperationError is  a  sub-class
              of Python's ValueError.

              For   example,  gmpy2.sqrt(-2)  will  normally  return  mpfr('nan').   However,  if
              allow_complex is set to True, then an mpc result will be returned.

       invalid
              This flag is  not  user  controllable.  It  is  automatically  set  if  an  invalid
              (Not-A-Number) result is returned.

       trap_erange
              This  attribute  controls  whether  or  not  a  RangeError exception is raised when
              certain  operations  are  performed  on  NaN  and/or  Infinity   values.    Setting
              trap_erange  to True can be used to raise an exception if comparisons are attempted
              with a NaN.

                 >>> gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.context())
                 >>> mpfr('nan') == mpfr('nan')
                 False
                 >>> gmpy2.get_context().trap_erange=True
                 >>> mpfr('nan') == mpfr('nan')
                 Traceback (most recent call last):
                   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
                 gmpy2.RangeError: comparison with NaN
                 >>>

       erange This flag is not user controllable. It is automatically  set  if  an  erange  error
              occurred.

       trap_divzero
              This attribute controls whether or not a DivisionByZeroError exception is raised if
              division  by  0  occurs.  The  DivisionByZeroError  is  a  sub-class  of   Python's
              ZeroDivisionError.

       divzero
              This  flag  is not user controllable. It is automatically set if a division by zero
              occurred and NaN result was returned.

       trap_expbound
              This attribute controls whether or not  an  ExponentOutOfBoundsError  exception  is
              raised if exponents in an operand are outside the current emin/emax limits.

       allow_complex
              This  attribute  controls  whether  or not an mpc result can be returned if an mpfr
              result would normally not be possible.

   Context Methods
       clear_flags()
              Clear the underflow, overflow, inexact, invalid, erange, and divzero flags.

       copy() Return a copy of the context.

   Contexts and the with statement
       Contexts can also be used in conjunction with Python's with ... statement  to  temporarily
       change  the  context  settings  for a block of code and then restore the original settings
       when the block of code exits.

       gmpy2.local_context() first save the current context and then creates a new context  based
       on a context passed as the first argument, or the current context if no context is passed.
       The new context is modified if any optional  keyword  arguments  are  given.  The  orginal
       active context is restored when the block completes.

       In  the  following example, the current context is saved by gmpy2.local_context() and then
       the block begins with a copy of the default context and the precision set to 100. When the
       block is finished, the original context is restored.

          >>> with gmpy2.local_context(gmpy2.context(), precision=100) as ctx:
          ...   print(gmpy2.sqrt(2))
          ...   ctx.precision += 100
          ...   print(gmpy2.sqrt(2))
          ...
          1.4142135623730950488016887242092
          1.4142135623730950488016887242096980785696718753769480731766796
          >>>

       A  context  object  can also be used directly to create a context manager block.  However,
       instead of restoring the context to the active context when  the  with  ...  statement  is
       executed,   the  restored  context  is  the  context  used  before  any  keyword  argument
       modifications.

       The code:

       ::     with gmpy2.ieee(64) as ctx:

       is equivalent to:

       ::     gmpy2.set_context(gmpy2.ieee(64)) with gmpy2.local_context() as ctx:

       Contexts that implement the standard single,  double,  and  quadruple  precision  floating
       point types can be created using ieee().

              precision. The mantissa is represented as a string in the specified base with up to
              'prec'  digits.  If 'prec' is 0, as many digits that are available are returned. No
              more digits than available given x's precision are returned. 'base' must be between
              2 and 62, inclusive.

              value of the mpfr object is exactly equal to the exact, infinite  precision  value.
              If  the  result  code  is  1, then the value of the mpfr object is greater than the
              exact value. If the result code is -1, then the value of the mpfr  object  is  less
              than the exact, infinite precision value.

       real   Returns  the  real  component.  For  mpfr  objects,  returns a copy of the original
              object.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpfr
          >>> a=mpfr("1.23456")
          >>> "{0:15.3f}".format(a)
          '          1.235'
          >>> "{0:15.3Uf}".format(a)
          '          1.235'
          >>> "{0:15.3Df}".format(a)

MULTIPLE-PRECISION COMPLEX

       gmpy2  adds a multiple-precision complex type called mpc that is based on the MPC library.
       The context manager settings for mpfr arithmetic are applied to mpc arithmetic by default.
       It  is  possible  to specifiy different precision and rounding modes for both the real and
       imaginary components of an mpc.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpc
          >>> gmpy2.sqrt(mpc("1+2j"))
          mpc('1.272019649514069+0.78615137775742328j')
          >>> gmpy2.get_context(real_prec=100,imag_prec=200)
          context(precision=53, real_prec=100, imag_prec=200,
                  round=RoundToNearest, real_round=Default, imag_round=Default,
                  emax=1073741823, emin=-1073741823,
                  subnormalize=False,
                  trap_underflow=False, underflow=False,
                  trap_overflow=False, overflow=False,
                  trap_inexact=False, inexact=True,
                  trap_invalid=False, invalid=False,
                  trap_erange=False, erange=False,
                  trap_divzero=False, divzero=False,
                  trap_expbound=False,
                  allow_complex=False)
          >>> gmpy2.sqrt(mpc("1+2j"))
          mpc('1.2720196495140689642524224617376+0.78615137775742328606955858584295892952312205783772323766490213j',(100,200))

       Exceptions are normally raised in Python when the  result  of  a  real  operation  is  not
       defined over the reals; for example, sqrt(-4) will raise an exception. The default context
       in gmpy2 implements the same behavior  but  by  setting  allow_complex  to  True,  complex
       results will be returned.

          >>> import gmpy2
          >>> from gmpy2 import mpc
          >>> gmpy2.sqrt(-4)
          mpfr('nan')
          >>> gmpy2.get_context(allow_complex=True)
          context(precision=53, real_prec=Default, imag_prec=Default,
                  round=RoundToNearest, real_round=Default, imag_round=Default,
                  emax=1073741823, emin=-1073741823,

                  trap_expbound=False,
                  allow_complex=True)
          >>> gmpy2.sqrt(-4)
          mpc('0.0+2.0j')

              with up to 'prec' digits. If 'prec' is 0, as many digits  that  are  available  are
              returned.  No  more  digits than available given x's precision are returned. 'base'
              must be between 2 and 62, inclusive.

              the component is greater than the exact value. If the result code is -1,  then  the
              value of the component is less than the exact, infinite precision value.

              specified, then the precision is taken from the current context. The rounding  mode
              is always taken from the current context.

              In  addition  to  the  standard  Python  string representation of a complex number:
