Fork?

Yes. There is pyssl, which we'll need for securing the notebook. We'll have to bundle some SSL implementation too, maybe YASSL. There is also a python package called pycrypto, which would seem like a canonical choice. > At the IPAM.UCLA Crypto/# Theory workshop, Johannes Buchmann mentioned a > Java based toolkit which his group has developed -- Flexiprovide. > > Curious to know how Python integrates with Java libs and if there are any > issues pushing/pulling data, efficiency, etc. Java programs are not suitable for inclusion in SAGE, because Java is too proprietary. Since the beginning the dependencies for installing "SAGE core" has been GCC, flex, bison, perl, make, m4, tar, ranlib, libstdc++*-dev. Optional packages may have more dependencies... Obviously, java is something we'll only be able to ignore for so long, since there is some relevant software written in it.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
