Yes, I expect that this will happen more with code in the future. People who have exposure to numpy et.al. tend to write code that way. I suspect that in many scenarios in sage, there's no benefit over working with a list except for some rare cases where one ALSO needs actual vector arithmetic. But I'd expect the ship has sailed on this: there is too much code out there already that uses sage vectors as arrays to make it practical to change that default. So how bad would it be to potentially double the number of vector spaces in existence by giving them an extra parameter determining whether fresh vectors (such as those resulting from vector arithmetic) should be mutable or not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
