Comment(by fredrik.johansson):

 Yes, it should be easy; just add an optional branch parameter, lambertw(z,
 branch=0).

 Another suggestion is to use scipy.special.lambertw for evaluation over
 RDF and CDF. The !SciPy implementation is a Cython translation of the
 double precision version in mpmath; it supports all branches and has
 excellent numerical stability, and runs quite a bit faster.

 {{{
 import scipy.special
 import mpmath
 timeit("mpmath.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r)")
 timeit("mpmath.fp.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r)")
 timeit("scipy.special.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r)")
 print repr(complex(mpmath.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r)))
 print repr(mpmath.fp.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r))
 print repr(scipy.special.lambertw(-35.0r+4.6jr,2r))
