As said in the same redit thread, one can use GMP from python.  It's
pretty easy, just not the default.

Thank you, that is good to know.

For big values of n gmpy2-based variant calculates Fibbonaci numbers at
approximately the same speed as C variant.  For smaller numbers - not
quite the same as C and for n < ~10,000 it is slower than default
python math.

So now we need a hybrid method where "small" numbers use default
python algorithms and advance to GMP for larger numbers, with each
of those two already being hybrids?  A hybrid**2 algorithm?  I like
it. ;)

By the way, in the last week or so I sent you two emails.  Could I
ask you to send a short email in response (assuming they arrived,
which I expect they did)?
