It would be nice to have prime-related and number theory functions in a new module or some existing module (like math).
like this:
>>> import prime
>>> prime.isprime(7)
True
>>> prime.isprime(35)
False
>>> prime.primerange(10,18)
(11,13,17)
>>> prime.isperfect(6) #Is 6 a perfect number (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_number)
True
>>> prime.factorize(60)
{2:2,3:1,5:1} #2**2 * 3**1 * 5**1
