If your matrix is of form [A:x] (as is usual when solving systems), items of A and x both have to be divisible by items of A but not the other way around. Thus, you could, for example, use floats for A and vectors for x. Example:
mtx = [[1.0, 1.0, 1.0, Vec3(0.0, 4.0, 2.0), 2.0],
[2.0, 1.0, 1.0, Vec3(1.0, 7.0, 3.0), 3.0],
[1.0, 2.0, 1.0, Vec3(15.0, 2.0, 4.0), 4.0]]
if gauss_jordan(mtx):
print mtx
else:
print "Singular!"
# Prints out (approximately):
#
# [[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, ( 1.0, 3.0, 1.0), 1.0],
# [0.0, 1.0, 0.0, ( 15.0, -2.0, 2.0), 2.0],
# [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, (-16.0, 3.0, -1.0), -1.0]]
