If I remember correctly it took around 14 hours, but my memory might not be reliable. I will try to build it for the new Sage version and let you know how long it takes. What do we need to do to make QuantLib a supported package? I am interested in helping, but I am not a Python/Sage genius (yet).
Generally, is there some interest in taking Sage further as a platform for Quantitative Finance? I remember William mentioning in a post some time that he would like to see more finance support in Sage too. If more people are interested we could - support QuantLib on Sage and extend the SWIG interface (e.g. docstrings, proper types, etc) - port QuantLib to Python/Sage - create a new Quant Finance Platform for Sage Any suggestions? Any more volunteers?
