Yo ! > Secondly, I think that we should not override any Python builtin.
There is no denying that all the symbolic stuff is infinitely slower. It is because of you that I started paying attention to it, when you gained a crazy speedup by using math.sqrt instead of Sage's sqrt. But that is precisely the problem: we are halfway through replacing Python's functions with symbolic functions. Cos, sin, log, sqrt, abs. All these are already overwritten by Sage symbolic equivalents. Though not 'min' and 'max'. We should do it for all or for none, shouldn't we? By not respecting any standard convention we are making it unreliable. Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
