"""Compute statistics on the digits of pi.

This uses precomputed digits of pi from the website
of Professor Yasumasa Kanada at the University of
Tokoyo: http://www.super-computing.org/

Currently, there are only functions to read the
.txt (non-compressed, non-binary) files, but adding
support for compression and binary files would be
straightforward.

This focuses on computing the number of times that
all 1, 2, n digits sequences occur in the digits of pi.
If the digits of pi are truly random, these frequencies
should be equal.
