Ahh, okay good!

Yes, it seems like it, even though there are no news of it on
SourceForge. But I downloaded the zip file and the README says:

  The gmpy project is moving to Google Code:
      http://code.google.com/p/gmpy/
  Please check that site for better-updated sources, docs, etc.

If you check the names of the authors, then you'll see that the same
guy shows up in both places, so I think we can trust it.

VIFF requires Python 2.4 or later. This is because of the heavy use of
the @decorator syntax, which was only introduced in Py 2.4. You can do

  foo = decorator(foo)

in earlier versions, but I don't think it is worth it to support those
Python versions.

As for GMPY, then I think I have only tried version 1.01.
