first X digits of pi

[Jabba Laci]

Hi,

Thanks for the answers. Gibbons' algorithm (from 2006) is a nice way
to generate the digits one after the other. However, it can get slow.
The mpmath approach is very fast, I think I will use that one. In a
script you can get the value of pi as a string with

str(mp.pi)

Best,

Laszlo
