I don't know who is working on PIL. I Yes, Nathann has packaged glpk. > know who proposed it, but not if anybody is doing the actual work. The optional package is pil-1.1.6, which is the current version according to http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/. There is a simpler interface to pil at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/6741 (which I wrote this summer and possibly Jason might review at some point), but it is not needed for PIL to be included. What else is needed? I'm rather short on time, now that teaching has started but I can try to help out if any is needed. > > William > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
