I'm wondering whether using mpmath directly (e.g. the elliptic integral of the first kind) might be more efficient for you. You should certainly be able to call this in Python, presumably also nicely in Cython.

I'm wondering whether using mpmath directly (e.g. the elliptic integral of the first kind) might be more efficient for you. You should certainly be able to call this in Python, presumably also nicely in Cython.

Edit: mpmath is of course numeric. Our exact functionality is presumably provided by Maxima; you may be able to interact directly with the Lisp (ECL) interface, though. And it should only slow down the first time you evaluate, when Maxima is started... hmm.
