There are advantages (which include not having to deal with this problem at all) and disadvantages that we need to carefully consider (if it's of interest the idea is here: https://github.com/theref/sage-game-theory/issues/48). With regards to the optional compilation, I might have expressed myself poorly. We've found another solution. Would adding the following to all.py in our game_theory folder be 'acceptable' with regards to general Sage etiquette etc: from sage.misc.package import is_package_installed from cooperative_game import CooperativeGame if is_package_installed('gambit'): from normal_form_game import * normal_form_game.py is the module that imports and inherits from gambit.
