[New-bugs-announce] [issue37798] Add C fastpath for statistics.NormalDist.inv_cdf()

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com>:

Create new module:  Modules/_statisticsmodule.c

Add a function:    _normal_dist_inv_cdf(p, mu, sigma) |-> x

Mostly, it should be a cut-and-paste from the pure Python version, just add argument processing and semi-colons.

Expect to measure a manyfold speedup.
