My previous replies didn't show up. Something to do the .announce group? I'll trim that and try again. Sorry if they show up eventually. Two issues: 1] why does both gmpy 1.11 and gmpy 1.11rc1 both reply >>> gmpy.version() '1.11' Aren't these different versions? How are we supposed to tell them apart? 2] Is it true that the only changes since 1.11rc1 are not applicable to me since - I'm not using Windows - whether it recognizes GMP 5 is moot as GMP 5 cannot be compiled on a Mac (according to GMP site) Is it possible GMP's problems with getting GMP 5 to compile are the same ones I had with 3.1 on Snow Leopard? (They bemoan not having a set of every Mac system.) Think it would behoove me to try it? > > casevh -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
