It provides polynomial, power series, and matrix types over all these number systems, plus a large collection of mathematical functions including number-theoretic operations, factorization, and numerical integration.\n\nThe library is designed for applications requiring exact symbolic computation or certified numerical results. It supports CPython 3.10\u20133.14 and provides prebuilt wheels for common platforms; source builds are available for other architectures. The package has no runtime Python dependencies and relies on the underlying FLINT C library, making it suitable for both interactive use and embedded in larger applications.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need exact arithmetic or certified numerical results. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and provides prebuilt wheels for modern Python versions on common platforms. Install friction is moderate due to the compiled FLINT dependency, but wheels eliminate build complexity for supported platforms. Dual licensing (MIT/LGPL-3.0-or-later) requires attention to copyleft obligations if redistributing derivative works."},"id":"python-flint","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-flint","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-flint.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-flint/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-03","license_spdx":"MIT AND LGPL-3.0-or-later","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"python-flint","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Bindings for FLINT"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":86095,"position":13886,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.0"}
