  The first GMPY goal is to develop this module into a complete
  exposure of MPZ, MPF (floating-point), and MPQ (rational)
! functionality of current GMP (release 3.1), that will fully
! support current Python (release 2.0) and its handy 'distutils'
  (and also support a "C API" allowing some level of interoperation
  with other C-written extension modules for Python).

  <H2>Mutability... but <u>not</u> for now</H2>
! Early tests have shown that supporting Python 2.0's "in-place
  operation" functionality (by making MPZ, MPF and MPQ Python objects
  <b>mutable</b>) could offer a substantial performance boost.

  <H1>Project Status and near-future plans</H1>
  The gmpy module's early, pre-alpha releases (latest current release
! as of 2001/01/25: 0.9) are already available for download in both
  source and Windows-binary form.  They expose all of the mpz, mpq
! and mpf functionality available in GMP 3.1, and most of the
! random-number generation functionality (there are no current plans
! to extend gmpy to expose other such functionality, although the
! currently experimental way that it is architected is subject to
! likely future changes).
  <p>
  On most platforms, you will need to separately procure and install
  the GMP library itself to be able to build and use GMPY (note that
! 3.1.1 or better is needed; take care: some Linux releases come bundled
! with <strong>older</strong> GMP versions, such as GMP 2, and you may
! have to uninstall these and then install the latest GMP version!).
