Hi Martin,
Unfortunately, Andrew's right, PolyBoRi died when its developers left the
scientific community. I'm not sure, what's the best way for SAGE to deal with
it. Porting PolyBoRi's py files shouldn't be a big deal, and Sage already uses
it's own Cython-bindings for the data structures. What remains is scons.
Perhaps, it's easier to set up a setup.py or another build system than
removing PolyBoRi from all the crypto modules. (You probably know the
dependencies better than me.) For working around lots of scons issues, most of
the SConstruct file is plain python anyway.
Best regards,
Alexander
