Another reason is that Numpy/scipy already provides very similar functionality to octave, but in a much more Pythonic way. On top of that, Sage also includes GSL, which again has a large functionality overlap. Finally, building octave from source is not easy. We did try for a long time to include Octave instead of scipy (I know that sounds stupid in retrospect), but it was just too difficult. -- William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
