It replaces a integral by a sum of sampled values of the integrand function times some weight factors.</p> <p>This is strictly a minor rewrite of <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/52292/">recipe 52292</a>, just to make it compatible with Python 2.4 and above. 2to3 converts it perfectly to be used with Python 3.x</p> <p><em>All</em> credit is due to the original author, Alexander Pletzer.</p>
