Hi, I became interested in SAGE after I found it to be the easiest way to install cddlib and gmp, and now I am getting hooked. My research is very schizophrenic: besides some computational algebra/geometry coming from dynamical systems, I am also interested in mathematical biology and bioinformatics. There is an open-source project called biopython (http://biopython.org/wiki/Biopython) that I am using in a bioinformatics course right now. It would be very nice if there was a biopython optional package for SAGE. I am willing to try and create one, but I thought I would post here first to see if anyone had any preliminary advice before I waste my time.
Biopython currently requires Numeric, but all the parts I need seem to work OK using numpy. The developers are currently working on switching over entirely to numpy. It also requires something called mxTextTools, but I think that should be OK since its open source and has a very permissive license.
