To approximate an arbitrary number of digits of pi with sympy:

  #! pip install sympy gmpy
  import sympy
  sympy.evalf(sympy.pi)
  sympy.N(sympy.pi)
https://docs.sympy.org/latest/modules/evalf.html

RosettaCode > [Python] lists quite a few more: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Pi#Python

I want to try write the underlying code myself, but thanks!

gmpy2.const_pi(precision=0: =53bits) probably isn't too helpful then either: https://gmpy2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mpfr.html#gmpy2.const... https://github.com/aleaxit/gmpy/issues/253#issue-499509692

RosettaCode has only one solution to the "Approximate Pi with Rationals (not float64s)" in Python problem.

I remember having seen a few statistical manifestation of Pi demos on YouTube
