== python code errors ==
 
The python code has multiple portions that are incorrect or not clear:
 
- a is chosen from 2 to n, not 2 to n-2
- modular squaring should be done s-1 times, not s times
- why is it written as 2 functions when it can be simplified?
 
This has caused errors in the testing of some numbers. '''Do not use this code''' until these errors can be resolved.
