rounding in Python 3 need not return a `float`

2

This is based on a [discussion in SymPy](https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/12056) I think `round` should return an mpf rather then a `float`. Consider: ```python >>> mp.dps = 64 >>> x = mpmath.mpf('0.66666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666') >>>...

The magnitude of this evaluation is completely wrong: ``` >>> bernpoly(4, complex(inf, 1e-50)) mpc(real='9.9999999999999998e-201', imag='0.0') ``` compared to: ``` >>> bernpoly(4, complex(1e5, 1e-5)) mpc(real='9.9998000010000007e+19', imag='39999400002.0') >>> bernpoly(4, complex(1e50, 1e-50)) mpc(real='1.0000000000000003e+200',...

Good: ``` >>> inf = float('inf') >>> mpmath.bernpoly(3, inf) mpf('+inf') >>> mpmath.bernpoly(4, inf) mpf('+inf') ``` Now how about complex with 0 imag part? This seems ok: ```` >>> bernpoly(4, complex(inf,...

possible built failures on Python 3.11?

Upcoming Fedora 37 has Python 3.11rc2 right now. I tried to install `lapsolver` with pip. There was no `.whl` (but maybe this is normal for pre-release, I'm not expert on...

Suggestions for using GitHub Actions for validating appstream metainfo

1. I can install Flatpak on Ubuntu 22.04, get Flathub, then install `org.freedesktop.appstream.cli`. Here's an example of this https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave-doctest/pull/287/files But that feels a bit "heavy". - - - 2. Wait...

Remove the "[triangle] click here bit"

Maybe the "[triangle] click here" is not really useful information to anyone except the sympy-bot developers and should eventually be removed?

pip install fails unless cffi installed first and separately

This fails: ``` pip3 install cffi pycparser jpegtran-cffi ``` This also fails: ``` pip3 install jpegtran-cffi ``` But this succeeds: ``` pip3 install cffi pycparser pip3 install jpegtran-cffi ``` Because...

Should this work: ```py import jpegtran jpegtran.__version__ ``` or `jpegtran.version`. Something like that.

This is on top of some other previous Pull Requests,

reproduce by "right clicking" on a close button of a window manager decoration. The window closes. (minor for me, but noticed it)
