[sage-devel] Re: graph theory: refactor implementation of spanning tree algorithms

2010-12-09 Thread Minh Nguyen
Hi folks, This is now ticket #10433 http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/10433 I opted to move the method min_spanning_tree() from Graph to GenericGraph. The code for Kruskal's algorithm has been moved to the new module spanning_tree.pyx and GenericGraph.min_spanning_tree() now calls spanni

I just typed make and it detected the number of cores, the architecture and built a multithreaded BLAS and LAPACK (which it automatically downloaded for me). It took about 90s to build and automa

2010-12-09 Thread G Hahn
Hi, I wrote a function using the sage notebook (not on sagenb.org but a local sage build). As the function is quite slow when using it from within the notebook, I was wondering if it is possible to access the worksheet containing the function from the sage interactive shell (e.g. by something like
