Comment (by fredrik.johansson):

 You could use the pi function in mpmath; as far as I know, it is limited
 only by available memory. I just verified that computing 100 million
 digits works on a 32-bit system. The last time someone compared, it was
 also about three times faster than MPFR (but probably less memory
 efficient).

 Or you could perhaps use this code which is even faster: http://gmplib.org
