The cohomology spkg relies on cimported types from SageMath, including types from the OptionalExtension sage.matrix.matrix_gfpn_dense. Hence, it makes no sense whatsoever without SageMath and moreover relies on SageMath's optional meataxe spkg being installed. So, does the cohomology spkg qualify as an "independent" Python module? If it does, several questions arise: 1. Why is "sage -pip install my_tarball.tgz" better than "sage -p my_tarball.spkg"? In other words, why should one change an old style spkg into a pip-installable package? 3. A major pain in the neck are "internal" changes in Sage that used to break my old-style spkg. Would it be easier to cope with them when using pip or when putting the Cython code into the Sage tree or when keeping it as an old-style spkg? 2. How to make the package pip-installable? Can you point me to a "howto" that also addresses interrelations with Sage, as mentioned above? 3. What do you mean by 'you will not have to perform "make"'? In an old-style package you wouldn't need to perform "make" either. Why do you think that "sage -pip install p_group_cohomology.tgz" is better than "make modular_resolution", where "modular_resolution" will be the optional new-style spkg that the proposed `OptionalExtension`s in sage.groups.modular_cohomology are supposed to rely on?
