Welcome to pypol v0.5 documentation!

Author:Michele Lacchia (michelelacchia@gmail.com) Release:0.5 Date:February 15, 2011

pypol is a Python library that allows you to manipulate polynomials. This is the main page of the documentation.

Installation

pypol is on PyPI too. If you have setuptools installed, you can use easy_install:

$ easy_install -U pypol_

and don’t forget the underscore! Because if you try:

$ easy_install -U pypol

you will install a different package!
