Hi, I definitely think that aim of Felix is good and needed. For example, it is hard to incorporate python module into Sage distribution (I recently went into troubles with pygtk). I guess that having Sage working with the builtin Python would solve the problem. Could someone confirm ?
It is hard to me to understand how sage currently deals with libraries and programs. And it is even harder to understand Felix solution. Could someone try to explain where should I look ?
