Hi Martin! I think, some parts are a little bit boring.
I hope, it is okay, to suggest some German formulations: Personally, I don't find the "Python"-section very convincing. - The Cython example seems a little bit boring - it is completely unclear to most readers, that it is quite cool to be able to wrap C-Code with so few lines. The corresponding chapters in the Python Cookbook present - examples wrapped using Pythons C-Interface directly - Pyrex/Boost/SWIG and shows that the latter versions (as far as I remember take 1/25 part of the lines of code). That would be impressive, but you don't have the space. So maybe, I would drop the example. You mention excel, and then sqlalchemy and so on. I think, you lack some conclusion. ".. das Maple den Excel import verbessert habe". I would add something like: Dies ist ein typisches Beispiel dafür, dass man auch als Forscher oft auf vielfältige Funktionalität außerhalb der Mathematik angewiesen ist. Die große Python-community, in die Sage sich einfügt, bietet bereits für Probleme der unterschiedlichsten Art an. Dies reicht von Excel Impor (xlrd), wie im Beispiel, über Datenbankzugriff (sqlalchemy), bis zu Bildmanipulation (PIL) und Netzwerken (twisted). The next thing, you mention is Cython, but I think, what might be more appropriate and match better to the previous, in the sense of "Python is good, as it is a general purpose language" is somewhat like mentioning the big set of tools around Python - debugger - profiler - glueing C-Code - documentation generators - doctests - whatever you like to mention here Michael On 3 Dez., 17:25, Martin Albrecht <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > Gregor Kemper asked me whether I would contribute an article on Sage to the > next issue of the "Fachgruppe Computeralgebra" newsletter.
