About dependencies (again): Working with Vincent on Combinatorial Designs (many tickets between beta releases) taught us that it is better to 'artificially' order all tickets linearly. Each ticket should have a successor and a predecessor, and they should all be linearly ordered. It is tempting to

Hello ! > Agreed. great news! Indeed. I do not know if what you have in mind about coding theory somehow overlaps with combinatorial designs (in particular orthogonal arrays/BIBD :-P) but it would be nice to shake those areas of Sage anyway. >>> Of course, all code will go through the Trac and t

[sage-devel] Re: Code fails on SECOND attempt only... please help!

2014-10-15 Thread Volker Braun
I guess caching is causing that. Creating ProjectiveSpace twice with the same input creates two projective spaces that are equal (P==Q) but not identical (P is not Q). Caching will look at "==" so if you compute something on the second projective space then you might get back something from the

KASH/KANT hasn't been maintained since about 2008 or something like that. I think you are pretty unlikely to get a response from their email address. However, I think I hear the voice of one of the former maintainers going into his office just down the hall from me. I'll ask him. If he says any

Hi sage-devel This is to announce and get some feedback on the start of a Sage software-development project. This spring, Daniel Augot, Clément Pernet and I got funding from INRIA for hiring a full-time software developer for two years to work on extending the coding theory functionality in Sag
