        A Python interface to the number theory library `PARI/GP <http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/>`_.
        
        This library supports both Python 2 and Python 3.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        GNU/Linux
        ^^^^^^^^^
        
        A package `python-cypari2` or `python2-cypari2` or `python3-cypari2` might be
        available in your package manager.
        
        Using pip
        ^^^^^^^^^
        
        Requirements:
        
        - PARI/GP >= 2.9.4 (header files and library)
        - Python 2.7 or Python >= 3.4
        - pip
        - `cysignals <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cysignals/>`_
        - Cython >= 0.28
        
        Install cypari2 via the Python Package Index (PyPI) via
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install cypari2 [--user]
        
        (the optional option *--user* allows to install cypari2 for a single user
        and avoids using pip with administrator rights). Depending on your operating
        system the pip command might also be called pip2 or pip3.
        
        If you want to try the development version use
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install git+https://github.com/defeo/cypari2.git [--user]
        
        If you have an error saying libpari-gmp*.so* is missing and have all requirements
        already installed, try to reinstall cysignals and cypari2
        
        ::
        
            $ pip install cysignals --upgrade [--user]
            $ pip install cypari2 --upgrade [--user]
        
        Other
        ^^^^^
        
        Any other way to install cypari2 is not supported. In particular, ``python
        setup.py install`` will produce an error.
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        The interface as been kept as close as possible from PARI/GP. The following
        computation in GP
        
        ::
        
            ? zeta(2)
            %1 = 1.6449340668482264364724151666460251892
        
            ? p = x^3 + x^2 + x - 1;
            ? modulus = t^3 + t^2 + t - 1;
            ? fq = factorff(p, 3, modulus);
            ? centerlift(lift(fq))
            %5 =
            [            x - t 1]
        
            [x + (t^2 + t - 1) 1]
        
            [   x + (-t^2 - 1) 1]
        
        translates into
        
        ::
        
            >>> import cypari2
            >>> pari = cypari2.Pari()
        
            >>> pari(2).zeta()
            1.64493406684823
        
            >>> p = pari("x^3 + x^2 + x - 1")
            >>> modulus = pari("t^3 + t^2 + t - 1")
            >>> fq = p.factorff(3, modulus)
            >>> fq.lift().centerlift()
            [x - t, 1; x + (t^2 + t - 1), 1; x + (-t^2 - 1), 1]
        
        The object **pari** above is the object for the interface and acts as a
        constructor. It can be called with basic Python objects like integer
        or floating point. When called with a string as in the last example
        the corresponding string is interpreted as if it was executed in a GP shell.
        
        Beyond the interface object **pari** of type **Pari**, any object you get a
        handle on is of type **Gen** (that is a wrapper around the **GEN** type from
        libpari). All PARI/GP functions are then available in their original names as
        *methods* like **zeta**, **factorff**, **lift** or **centerlift** above.
        
        Alternatively, the pari functions are accessible as methods of **pari**. The
        same computations be done via
        
        ::
        
            >>> import cypari2
            >>> pari = cypari2.Pari()
        
            >>> pari.zeta(2)
            1.64493406684823
        
            >>> p = pari("x^3 + x^2 + x - 1")
            >>> modulus = pari("t^3 + t^2 + t - 1")
            >>> fq = pari.factorff(p, 3, modulus)
            >>> pari.centerlift(pari.lift(fq))
            [x - t, 1; x + (t^2 + t - 1), 1; x + (-t^2 - 1), 1]
