I just finished upgrading the matplotlib spkg to the newest version. See http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/4774 This version of matplotlib deprecates some of the constructs found in Sage's matplotlibrc (which is located in $SAGE_ROOT and automatically copied to $DOT_SAGE if needed ever

William, Thanks for the reply. I hadn't dug deep enough to find the "with_basis" variant of the submodule constructor, so I like the suggested approach. Barring anymore significant conversation here, I'll take on submitting this with a ticket and a patch. It'll be a learning experience for me

A question about computing bases for kernels or null spaces of matrices. When working with students studying linear algebra for the first time, I like to construct basis vectors for the (right) kernel by working through the indices of the non-pivot columns of the reduced row echelon form of the m

Another alternative, for using Sage in class, instead of using a (non-existing) native Windows port, or one of the virtualizations, is to use it from a live CD, booting Linux. The CDs are easy to distribute in class, and students don't have to download and install anything. Alec --~--~-

Hi Sébastien, Let me first say I am glad you are working on and thinking about this. I guess I disagree somewhat with most of these ideas, but as the author of most of the existing code I suppose that's to be expected. I don't think converting between representations should be explicit; however
