Cool! If there's any summary of discussions or questions, etc., let me know. I think a very useful sprint project for such a workshop would be to make a Sage-friendly version of this: https://python-packaging.readthedocs.org/en/latest/minimal.html Some issues are: - How to doctest code with "sage:" prompts that isn't in the sage library (basically, you have to be sure to do "sage -t --force-lib <package name>" and explicitly import from the Python library you're making in the docstrings. - Cython: relying on pxi/pxd files from the sage library. - Discussion about how to import functionality from the Sage library into a library. There could be a package (hosted on pip) called "sagemath" that other packages depend on. It could provide some helper functionality for the above. I make no claims to have thought anything through yet! I did however spend an hour playing around with this problem yesterday, which resulted in https://github.com/williamstein/sage_modabvar https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sage_modabvar/0.1 which is far from done. I just did a very tiny bit of initial work on removing this "big" pure-Python modular abelian varieties package from Sage and making it a standalone module.
