Mpmath is a pure-Python library for arbitrary-precision floating-point arithmetic. It implements the standard functions from Python's math and cmath modules (exp, log, sin, etc.), plus a few nonelementary special functions (gamma, zeta, etc.), and has utilities for arbitrary-precision numerical differentiation, integration, root-finding, and interval arithmetic. It supports unlimited exponent sizes, has full support for complex numbers, and offers better performance than Python's standard decimal library. Mpmath is lightweight and easy to install or include in other software due to being written entirely in Python with no additional dependencies.
Release Notes: String conversion has been rewritten to use integer arithmetic instead of Decimals, which makes it an order of magnitude faster; basic arithmetic speed has also been improved by 15%. Division now uses a rigorous algorithm for directed rounding (it previously got the last bit wrong with a 0.01% probability). Some functions have been added or renamed, and the unit tests have been made more exhaustive.

Release Notes: Importing of flashcards was implemented. The long-term learning manager was simplified and the underlying long-term learning algorithm was further tuned towards higher retention rates. The overall stability was improved by taking more care of OpenOffice events. OpenCards will now detect changes in card-sets automatically. The user interface for last-minute-learning was completely overhauled. A wiki was started on www.opencards.info, which allows users to share their flashcard files with other users.
