[sage-devel] Re: Does a doc test require a compiler?

2010-11-24 Thread Georg S. Weber
Hi Dave, to be able to process a *.pyx file (as the doctest definitely seems to do), yes, you need a compiler (either C or even C++, depending on the .pyx file). If you want to load/attach *.pyx files, the same applies. (Behind the scenes, Cython is used to generate out of the *.pyx file a *.c, or

Hello Vincent, just a couple of remarks: 1. This is exactly the type of threads I think that would belong to sage-nt rather than sage-devel 2. Using kind of "graph methods" it is definitely possible to give better enumerations of both coset representatives and generators than e.g. sage/modular/a

Just one thought: problems may arise with libraries which are used by both the R binary and certain other binaries from Sage. E.g. "iconv" comes to my mind. Probably one has to invest a greater-than-normal amount of care (w.r.t. environment variable settings and such), to ensure that R *as well as
