Some examples of Python/Cython packages that depend on Sage: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/SimonKing/Cohomology/ https://github.com/williamstein/psage Sage is supposed to be a Python library for mathematics among other things (software distribution, notebook interface, interface to maths software). It is natural to use it as a library. :) > I actrually followed the same pattern I found there : > http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/418 I am aware that you followed an often used pattern for development.

Won't it be considered if you run doctests on the full Sage library with sage -testall Cheers, Burcin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
