I have a colleague that wants to use polymake in Sage. (I'm not a geometry person, but I am trying to help him).
So, I found out in the documentation (chapter 36) that there is a Sage interface. He wanted to import the polymake output to Sage, but I could not help him with that. I tried the stuff in section 36.3 but didn't have much success importing/using the module. (I can run the examples in section 36.1, though). He tells me that he will be wanting to write a bunch of scripts, so I said that it may well be worth his time to learn a bit of Python and do it in Sage (instead of using shell scripting, which was my/his initial idea) (He also doesn't have much experience in shell scripting, so it is *definitely* better to learn Python, IMHO.) His main question is that he will be able to do everything he does in polymake through Sage. So, I perhaps can find someone that has done geometry in Sage to put in touch with him? -- "The main things which seem to me important on their own account, and not merely as means to other things, are knowledge, art, instinctive happiness, and relations of friendship or affection." -Bertrand Russell L.
