Importing the pynac source into the Sage mercurial repository would be similar to adding the eclib, ratpoints, or all the other "libraries" Sage depends on. The main reason that changes in pynac are necessary to fix some bugs in Sage symbolics is that we don't have a clear interface between Sage and pynac. This is partly caused by the fact that we switched over to using pynac for the symbolics backend very quickly without sorting out some of these issues. I'm quite sure that after resolving a few remaining issues (like this symbolic functions interface) we won't have to touch pynac so much. Besides, it's not that hard to get to the pynac code. Just do ./sage -f -s pynac-0.1.9-p0.spkg cd spkg/build/pynac-0.1.9.p0/src If you make any changes, be sure to have a sage shell with ./sage -sh then go to the directory above and do make install > However, that might be a pretty difficult thing to do - just throwing > it out there. Thanks for all the work on it, as usual! Now if I only > understood enough to help Nils get library access to ECL/Maxima, we'd > really be in business... I really wish there was more work to make that interface usable. Thanks.
