I thought I would publicly state my own plans on this front, and some recent developments. Polymake is undergoing some architectural changes that may or may not make it more attractive for inclusion in sage. Their developers estimate the new release as sometime in the summer, maybe as early as J

The toric package does seem relevant, but it is unclear to me exactly where it overlaps the functionality of cddlib, PALP, and polymake and where it provides complementary functions. Also, in the areas where it overlaps it would be interesting to know how it compares in speed. Are there any bench

I guess my plan for the moment is to work inside sage/geometry/ polytope, and mostly imitate the structure of the polymake interface using only cddlib. About 90% of the functionality of polymake should be quite easy redo. -M. Hampton On Mar 28, 6:46 pm, mhampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi
