Pari Python

[Anton Mellit]

Hi,
thanks for the comments. I think I should target on making my module
as a normal python module without using any modifications and
additionally (only additionally) provide some optional workaround for
the '^' and '/' problem. I am going to look at what Michael proposed

Also I will look at how it is done in SAGE. SAGE is very difficult to
work with, it is definitely not pythonic and it is not implemented as
a bunch of python modules like I would prefer it. I can't find out how
to eliminate all the garbage there and leave only the python core. Its
pari support seems superficial. In many cases you have to evaluate
strings using pari interpreter like 'gp("a = intnum(x=0,6,sin(x))")'
(excerpt from the documentation).

Actually it should be nice to have this workaround available
separately for use by other math packages.
