For sure; I wanted to be clear that I don't think it isn't valuable. But I don't necessarily think it belongs in sagelib itself, and can mostly be extracted out as a separate package with its own repository. That way, at least it won't be entirely lost to the sands of time, and someone who has a need for it and is sufficiently motivated to update it for newer Python versions can pick it up again. We could even still keep sage.misc.explain_pickle to provide the Sage-specific bits as a wrapper around a more general library. That is work that I am willing to do (I'm just not motivated enough to update it beyond that, at least at the moment). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
