Future: The Singular team or whoever dedicates the time to maintain a sequel to polybori. * This will be required once we stop supporting python 2 in the very distant future (at least after 2020, which is the EOL for python 2). > > Cheers, > Martin > > On Friday 12 Jun 2015 10:14:53 Martin Albrecht wrote: > > I started talking to some people from the symbolic computation community > to > > discuss options (e.g. if someone wants to take over maintenance).
