Not OP, but we are dealing with proposals of this flavor over in the Maxima project and I'd like to put in my 2 cents here. As to the special benefit of Sage here, generic Python can provide numerical solutions but it's weak on symbolic representations -- essentially one would have to reinvent that wheel. I think the combination of symbolic and numerical calculations is a huge win. So I think such a project is a great idea. However, I wonder whether it should be absorbed into Sage proper. What I've settled on, after repeated proposals over in Maxima, is that such projects should be managed separately, by their authors, hosted at Github or whatever, but also there should be a simple, convenient way to install and load it into Sage. I think there exist such mechanisms for R, Python, Ruby, etc. -- maybe Sage can use Python's with or without modification. For what it's worth. I am interested to hear how such things are handled in Sage. It seems like a problem that needs to be solved in some form in various projects -- how to create an ecosystem without bogging down the main project. best Robert Dodier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
