Oh, yes - several of us have tried to make it work better with various input, but likely it could be completely rewritten at this point. > Looking at the code in sage/rings/arith.py, I see that the if statement > starting at line 2999 is a duplicate of that in at line 2961. > > Replacing the top level binomial function with the symbolic one defined > in sage.functions.other should provide an easy fix for all these > problems. I wonder if it effects the speed too much. I couldn't figure out how to do this at the time, but certainly this was a goal in some earlier revisions. No matter how I imported it, the arith.py one is the one that would show up, but this would be a great goal. - kcrisman -- 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
