Hey Vit, Some of these issues are probably related to bad input. Let us start with *.algebras_generators(). It is useful to look at the output: sage: PBW.algebra_generators() Finite family {-alpha[1]: PBW[-alpha[1]], alpha[1]: PBW[alpha[1]], alphacheck[1]: PBW[alphacheck[1]]} So it is expect

+1 for lint; adding a suitable set of linting rules to the testsuite would have a much greater impact on code quality than enforcing a trailing whitespace policy will ever have. On Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 1:21:36 PM UTC+1, John Cremona wrote: > > A simpler, similar example is with the l

I'm against a workflow that involves bots for a nothing-burger like trailing whitespace. Either auto-cleanup on commit and have the server check on push that it was cleaned up. Or nothing at all. But waiting a day and then have a bot come back with trailing whitespace nonsense is just an unnece

If you try to test for equality in a finitely presented groupy the sage kernel can crash. The following real life example leads to restarted kernel in the notebook interface and to "gap: cannot extend the workspace any more!" in Sage terminal interface (and nongraceful exit). k = 3 p = 18 d =

If somebody wants to fix this, you should try pip. gambit is currently one of the few Python packages that are installed using the classical setup.py script instead of pip. Changing to pip is an obvious thing to do anyway and it might even fix the problem. -- You received this message becaus

A simpler, similar example is with the lmfdb (https://github.com/LMFDB/lmfdb) where no pull request is merged unless pyflakes gives no errors or warnings. I am not suggesting that Sage does the same, but there were rather a lot of bugs discovered when we first started using pyflakes this way! Joh
