No, those generic instructions do not work (I figured I would try before answering that email). The instructions don't work because fipy has "pysparse" as a required dependency. wget http://matforge.org/fipy/downloader/download/file/34 tar xf FiPy-2.0.2.tar.gz cd FiPy-2.0.2 sage -python setup.py install ... Extracting FiPy-2.0.2-py2.6.egg to /scratch/wstein/build/sage-4.1.1/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages SyntaxError: ('invalid syntax', ('/scratch/wstein/build/sage-4.1.1/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/FiPy-2.0.2-py2.6.egg/fipy/viewers/gnuplotViewer/gnuplot1DViewer.py', 76, 52, " with='lines'),)\n")) ... !!!!!! The required module(s) ['pysparse'] cannot be loaded. FiPy will not work properly until these modules are installed. -- Also, "with" is used in part of FiPY, which is a reserved word in Python 2.6 (i.e., evidently nobody has ever installed FiPy successfully in Python 2.6...?). Anyway, getting pysparse: wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/pysparse/pysparse/1.1/pysparse-1.1.tar.gz?use_mirror=voxel cd pysparse-1.1 sage -python setup.py install This works. So then I reinstall FiPY cd ../FiPy-2.0.2 sage -python setup.py install Then start sage: sage: import fipy .... ImportError: Could not import any solver package. If you are using Trilinos, make sure you have all of the necessary Trilinos packages installed - Epetra, EpetraExt, AztecOO, Amesos, ML, and IFPACK. And at this point I'm giving up. But yes, if somebody has sufficient patience I see no reason why one couldn't use fipy with Sage. Maybe Ondrej Certik can comment, since "FiPy is an object oriented, partial differential equation (PDE) solver, written in Python , based on a standard finite volume (FV) approach", and that sounds like his sort of thing. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
