There's no a priori reason Sage shouldn't switch to using a framework build. Probably the only reasons we don't are: (1) I had never heard of framework builds when I ported Sage to OS X. (2) Certain people (e.g., mabshoff) didn't like them for whatever reason (see archives of sage-devel). I don't think either reason is technically sound. I would certainly like to test out switching to a framework build for sage on OS X. It does seem really silly that we have python, but don't even get to use the features of the nice native OS X gui that Python nicely makes available. I always thought all these "native gui not working on random OS" issues with Sage would have been sorted out over a year ago, but that didn't happen. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
