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?
