Hi all,
I (amongst with others) have written a library that solves boolean
equations in some way. I wanted to include it as an experimental spkg. I
thus wrote a cython interface to Sage. To be usable from inside Sage,
both the library itself and the cython interface are necessary. What is
the proper way to do this ?
I first thought that the Right Way (r) was to conditionally include the
cython part to the library when the spkg is installed, by writing
something like this in module_list.py :
if is_package_installed('stuff'):
ext_modules.extend([ blablabla ])
This works fine, except that it forces potential users to not only
install an spkg but also run sage -b, and it apparently makes it
impossible to update the reference manual: if I add a line
sage/libs/stuff
to libs.rst, then building the reference manual fails when the spkg is
not installed.
What should I do ? Unconditionally include the cython interface to the
sage library, and mark all doctests as optional ?
Cheers,
