I hope somebody will try. The first time I ever heard of Polymake was at Berkeley, where a lot of grad students wanted to use Polymake, but couldn't build it (literally -- it was impossible because of lack of RAM on their laptops). So I spent a day and got it to build into sage with some hacks. It was somewhat painful. Polymake really is the "Sage of polytopes", and is equally heavy. I hope somebody else will do work and figure out how to build polymake into any sage well... > Although the current included polytope code is somewhat disjointed, > buggy, and incomplete, it is progressing and getting closer to > polymake's functionality.
