I think the clash is much more basic than that. It is developers versus users. Users who hoped to do (some) mathematics with a computer. So far, it seems to me most discussions are developer-centric, Marc being among the exceptions giving another POV. well, the list is called "sage-devel". I definitely appreciate Marc's perspective and it is a useful one to add to the mix, because there are definitely different compromises in the linux and OSX ecosystems. I'm pretty sure that previously people did have problems with running cython successfully on installed-from-binary sage on linux platforms. Note that having a functional cython is not just important for having "%%cython" work. It's also relevant for third party extensions such as https://github.com/nbruin/RiemannTheta. So I think that presently installing sage from binary *without* a C toolchain is producing a hobbled install. It may be a reasonable compromise for people who don't need it, but the design of sagemath (and one of its strengths!) does require the ability to seamlessly move from python to cython. And this is not just a user/developer divide. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
