Python interface to Frank Lubeck's Conway polynomial database

Python interface to Frank Luebeck's Conway polynomial database. Frank Luebeck maintains a list of pre-computed Conway polynomial coefficients. These are used in several computer algebra systems such as GAP and SageMath to provide quick access to those Conway polynomials. The package consists of a single module containing a single function that returns a dict of dicts, conway_polynomials.database(). The dictionary's format is {p: {n: coefficients}}, where p represents your prime and n your degree. The tuple of coefficients is returned in ascending order; that is, the first coefficient (at index zero) is for the constant (degree zero) term. This package is an evolution of the SageMath conway_polynomials package and is maintained by the same team of developers.
