[sage-devel] Python bindings for Ginac

2007-09-08 Thread Pablo De Napoli
The idea of incorporating Ginac into Sage was discussed some time ago in this list. Now I see that in its page there is a link to some python bindings for Ginac http://pyginac.sourceforge.net/ This could be useful for us, however they use boost rather than cython/pyrex Pablo --~--~-~--
