本文实例讲述了python求pi的方法，是一篇翻译自国外网站的文章，分享给大家供大家参考。
具体实现方法如下：
#_*_ coding=utf-8 *_*
## {{{ http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578130/ (r5)
def pi(places=10):
“””computes pi to given number of decimal places
参数places表示要返回的pi的小数点后位数
方法：先整体扩大10**8（10的八次方）倍，然后计算完成后再缩小10的八次方倍
“””
# 3 + 3*(1/24) + 3*(1/24)*(9/80) + 3*(1/24)*(9/80)*(25/168)
# the numerators 1, 9, 25, … are given by (2x + 1) ^ 2
# the denominators 24, 80, 168 are given by (16x^2 -24x + 8)
extra = 8
one = 10 ** (places+extra)
t, c, n, na, d, da = 3*one, 3*one, 1, 0, 0, 24
#这里的n 和d 分别为每一项的分子与分母 ,na 和 da 分别为分子和分分母后一项比前一项增加的数值
#这里的//可不是c++中的注释,而是除的意思
while t > 1:
n, na, d, da = n+na, na+8, d+da, da+32
t = t * n // d
c += t
return c // (10 ** extra)
def picirc(radius, aspect_ratio=5):
“””display the digit of pi in a circle of given radius
radius:显示的半径
aspect_ratio：调节显示的比率参数
“””
#display_width为各行的显示长度
display_width = int(radius * aspect_ratio + 10)
pi_str = repr(pi(int(2 * radius ** 2 * aspect_ratio)))
pos = 0
#cols为每一行中要显示的数字个数
for i in range(2 * radius):
cols = int(0.5 + aspect_ratio * (radius**2 – (radius-(i+0.5))**2) ** 0.5)
print(pi_str[pos:pos+cols].center(display_width)) #将产生的pi数值生成的文本列表中相应的位数取出来显示在当前行
pos += cols
if __name__ == ‘__main__’:
picirc(16)
