I'm of the same opinion--something like the MaximaSymbolicRing could be an interesting exercise, but I'm not sure how useful it would be. I don't imagine manipulating lots of little maxima elements will be the main usecase. Rather, it would be more useful to be able to take a single (possibly large) Pynac object, convert pass it to Maxima to be able to call some maxima function(s) on it, then get it back. With as little overhead as possible, of course :). - Robert --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
