well, we can add a project, still, not too late? explore and implement Python/Python-Sage bindings to FriCAS (and time allowing, to Maxima) via sbcl/libsbcl, probably using https://github.com/quil-lang/sbcl-librarian The latter might need a degree of cooperation with sbcl-librarian devs, as it's not documented much.
