to my embarassment, Markus Grassl told me that Sage already has an interface to http://www.codetables.de/, in sage/coding/linear_code.py It is called best_known_linear_code_www(). So it was put in, but the corresponding cleanup of sage/coding/code_bounds.py has never happened. Dima -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
