Re: [sage-devel] Sage Warnings/Tips

[sage-devel] Sage Warnings/Tips

Hello everybody, I wondered if we could have "something" to give our users 'tips' they might ignore, when they use Sage. For instance when using graphs: - installing 'bliss' makes .automorphism_group() run *much* faster - installing 'igraph' makes flow computations *much* faster - installing
