acb_theta not accessible in version 0.8.0, FLINT_VERSION 3.3.1 #396
Description
I was trying to get derivatives of theta functions, via acb_theta, which I understand is in the c-code for flint.
I note the documentation is a blank page for this feature/attribute.
The version logs suggest Oscar Benjamin has been working on this among many of his other activities.
Anyway I tried to dir(flint), and the alphabetically ordered list passes over 'acb_theta', which I would think came between 'acb_series', and
'arb'.
I am aware of modular_theta under acb, but it doesn't seem to have a derivative capability.

You can import acb_theta (FLINT's
acb_theta_all) asWhether it is there or not depends on the FLINT version. Unfortunately the docs build in readthedocs uses a system with an older FLINT version so it ends up not showing on the docs website there.
Currently python-flint does not provide a way to get the derivatives which I come from
acb_theta_jetrather thanacb_theta_all.oscarbenjamin commentedon Jun 3, 2026
See gh-392 for
acb_theta_jet.
