This package is a (tiny) library of Gamma-related numerical functions.

REQUIREMENTS
------------

- Python (2.2+)
- C++ compiler (GNU 3.3.2)

Versions are indicated in parenthesis.  Other versions may also work.


INSTALLATION
------------

- Run 'python setup.py install' to build and install the gamma module to the
  standard location.  To install to a custom location, use the --prefix and
  --exec-prefix options.  For example:

    python setup.py install --prefix=~/usr --exec-prefix=~/usr/linux

- If you install to a custom location, make sure that you have the
  PYTHONPATH environment variable set appropriately.  For example,
  include a line like this in your ~/.bash_profile:

    export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/home/jrennie/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages:/home/jrennie/usr/linux/lib/python2.3

- After installation, you can use the test suite to ensure a proper
  installation and make sure that you have your PYTHONPATH set
  properly:

    python test/test_gamma.py
