As far as I know, cysignals is another instance of a component originally developed for sagemath, about maybe 20 years ago, then separated into a standalone package. In theory, this separation should make it easier to support other OS, but the fact that windows support hasn't materialized yet is a sign that this is not so clear. Windows support *did* materialize. The modified cysignals module included with CyPari *does* work on Windows. And that also happened many years ago. What did not happen was for the Sage cysignals project to incorporate the changes that make it work on Windows and to produce Windows packages on PyPi. I always assumed that the reason for that was that there would be no point in doing so, given that Sage is the only user of cysignals (with CyPari as the sole exception) and Sage doesn't support Windows. Moreover, adding Windows support adds a maintenance burden. I think that the cysignals project never intended to produce anything that would work on non-posix systems. I think the same is true of all projects under the Sage umbrella, although it is obviously not the case for the "python ecosystem" in general. - Marc -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
