The cddlib spkg is from late July, so it has worked for many people on many machines. But we should definitely make an effort to avoid shipping extraneous files in our spkg's.

It runs a little slower than the current flatten function (220 microseconds instead of 170 microseconds on %timeit for a particular case), but I think the extra functionality is worth it. If the time issue is a problem, we can just split the function into two branches depending on if a max_level is passed to the function. I posted up the patch on ticket #1016. I'm very curious how this compares to a recursive version. The recursive version noted above and William's version using sum both choke when the depth of the list is not uniform (e.g., [[1,[2]],[3,4]] ). With the patched version of flatten, you can restrict the flattening based on both the types of elements and the level at which the elements are located in the nested list.

I believe it would be hugely beneficial to build an abstraction layer between the Sage user accounts and the underlying system accounts. For instance, suppose a cluster of Sage servers are deployed for use on campus. It would be useful to obtain the user's credentials from an LDAP server or some form of single sign-on service. I'm guessing people would find one or all of the following user abstraction modules useful: 1. Sage usernames, passwords, and meta-data stored in db backend. When accounts are accessed, they are temporary mapped to a system user based upon a predetermined server pool (similar to what is done now). 2. Sage usernames and passwords come from Unix backend. Extended meta- data for each user (such as Sage-related settings, etc) are stored in a db backend. 3. Sage usernames and passwords are authenticated based on LDAP information. Extended meta-data stored are stored in a db backend (note: at some point, a mapping must be made back to a Unix account. A new account could be generated based upon the LDAP information, but this is probably less than desirable for several reasons.). > Alternatively, we could have the sage notebook server just kill absolutely > all processes belonging to sageXX every so often.

I think that this should be very simple with iptables, provided that the kernel has been compiled with the right options, and that the relevant options are --uid-owner and --gid-owner.

[sage-devel] latex variable names
Round about calculus.py line 3283 is a really charming latex-ification algorithm. I have some questions about it. Could the if statement that puts the 'tails' into the subscript be moved into the latex_varify function? I'm also bothered by the fact that latex(var('sigma_k'))=='\mbox{sigma_k}' instead of '\sigma_{k}' Would anyone be opposed to latex_varify handling embedded underscores in a more tex-understanding way? I'd also like to use latex_varify a few other places (MPoly rings I think), but I forget the ones I had gotten mad at a week ago. Does anyone have objections to these things?

Well, a public notebook is like a public shell account, which we have all agreed upon that it is a bad idea. Even if you restrict the notebook to accounts you give out the problems you describe are still possible for the registered users, but that is mostly due that one has in fact a local shell accounts of one has a sage notebook account.

I am not sure if that is possible, at least the result would certainly not be in the spirit of Sage. And you would need to reinvent the wheel to do that, so that doesn't make it desirable. If you are really paranoid just set up each notebook for one user only and use different accounts for each individual sage process. That way you have isolation between users. > > 3.

[sage-devel] Fun Things to do with a Sage Notebook
Here are a few fun things that anyone can do with a public Sage Notebook: 1. Use the Sage server as remote file storage. Take your pick between ftp, cvs, subversion, or even brew your own protocol. 2. Host your own web site. Remember: Apache is only a wget away! 3. Are your thesis simulations taking too long to run? Try distributing your algorithm to a cluster of Sage notebooks. 4. Build a process cluster that randomly kills Sage processes. For long-lasting effects, be sure that your processes can react to a partial discovery of their existence. 5. Deploy network crawlers. Who knows? You might even find another home for your remote file storage. 6. Access eJournals and other materials that are typically restricted outside of the campus network. My point: there really is no reason to root a Sage box because it already provides for many other opportunities. While rooting the box may allow you to get around the ulimit or quotas, these really do not pose serious problems anyway. The trick here is just to distribute your resource usage among the publicly-usable sageXX accounts. I'm doing some research into SELinux to see if there are any tricks that can be done to eliminate these issues. If possible, I would like to do the following: 1. Disallow the sageXX accounts from opening sockets in any program except Sage. This would prevent people from running open-source servers (such as subversion or apache), but it would not prevent them from writing their own servers within the Sage Notebook. 2. Disallow killing processes by any sageXX account. This essentially means limiting the interrupts that can be issued. 3. Limit the interprocess communication options to all sageXX accounts. As far as I can tell, there is no reason for any of them to be allowed to create shared memory segments, process semaphores, or message queues. Although this does not make it impossible to build process clusters, it sure makes it a lot more difficult. 4. Limit the valid address range for outgoing sockets for sageXX accounts. One could easily disallow connections to any system on the campus network by banning the campus's IP range. The sageXX accounts should only be allowed to establish connections with known mathematical databases; however, the addresses of these databases can change due to IP reassignment within ISP's. Rather than having the sageXX processes perform DNS lookups (which requires establishing connections to arbitrary addresses), you could have an external process (such as server2) periodically perform the lookups and store the results in a hosts file. These adjustments certainly do not prevent the attacks I mentioned, but they do make them quite a bit more difficult to perform. Let me know if any of these adjustments would break Sage as a whole. In the meantime, I'll continue investigating SELinux to see whether or not these proposals are feasible. -- Brian --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Yes I "want to", but we better be careful until gfortran becomes ubiquitous, i.e., its in XCode on OS X and standard on Linux box. I.e., we should use g95 now, then switch to gfortran in a year or two. Users must always have the *option* to use gfortran instead of g95 very easily though, since some people consider the prebuilt g95 binary (or any binary for that matter) a huge evil security risk. > >> 2. atlas: should this be part of the sage build > >> Yes, definitely.

[sage-devel] Re: non-commutative polynomial rings
Hi, I didn't implement subs for these types, but it seems to be inheriting from some generic code. The description of output says that self is returned if the substitution fails, which is the behavior you observe. This could be fixed by defining subs for a FreeAlgebraElement, but the logic of the generic function should be reported as a bug. --David --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

[sage-devel] non-commutative polynomial rings
Hi, I feel like this is a really dumb question, but how do you create a polynomial ring with elements that don't commute? I expected MPolynomialRing to have a parameter 'commutative', but I can't find any evidence of it. So, as an alternative I tried a FreeAlgebra and it appears promising. But then I ran into what appears to be a bug: sage: P.=FreeAlgebra(ZZ,5) sage: sk.subs(sk=sl) sk sage: sk.subs({sk:sl}) sk That is, the subs method simply won't subst anything. Can someone confirm that this is a bug that should be on trac (as opposed to me mis-understanding what a free algebra should do)? (Sadly, that was the entire point of my wanting a non-commutative poly ring was to later subst in matrices.) -- Joel --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[sage-devel] SAGE 2.8.10.alpha0 released
You can download SAGE 2.8.10.alpha0 from: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/cwitty/2.8.10/sage-2.8.10.alpha0.tar This contains the following patches over 2.8.9: http://sagetrac.org/sage_trac/query?status=closed&summary=%7E%5Bwith&milestone=sage-2.8.10&order=priority It also contains Robert's latest Cython spkg. As always, please test this on as wide a variety of hardware as possible, and report failures either as TRAC tickets or as e-mails to sage-devel. If you are comfortable with hand-upgrading SAGE, you should be able to upgrade to a close approximation of 2.8.10.alpha0 by installing Robert's Cython spkg (from http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/robertwb/cython/cython-0.9.6.8.spkg), and applying the hg bundles http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/cwitty/2.8.10/sage-2.8.10.alpha0.hg and http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/cwitty/2.8.10/doc-2.8.10.alpha0.hg .
