Interesting!  I ran this on my script which takes elliptic curves as
computed by eclib (outside Sage, that's a C++ program which already
uses gmp, NTL, pari) and got this list:

['PARI', 'mwrank', 'MPFI', 'Singular', 'FLINT', 'MPFR', 'ginac',
'GMP', 'Magma', 'NTL']

This does not include sympow (which is used for E.modular_degree()).
I also have no idea why either Singular or ginac are being used.
Since I do no symbolic algebra it is quite possible that the
appearance of ginac in this list indicates a small bug.
