Comment (by kini):
I don't think it would be such a big deal. By "bindings" I don't mean
actual bindings - this kind of program isn't going to be called en masse
or require a whole lot of speed in the communication pipeline like, say
GAP does, so writing a `libries` (to actually link against the RIES code)
is surely unnecessary.
We can just write an interface in `$SAGE_ROOT/devel/sage/sage/interfaces/`
which takes a Sage number of some kind, converts it into a string, and
then calls `ries` on the command line with it. The only nontrivial part
would be to convert the result back into a form that is meaningful in
Sage, (as opposed to just printing it as it appears when calling `ries` on
the command line). For example you might want to convert the output of
`ries` into a list of Sage symbolic expressions, or something like that.
That would involve string parsing to decipher the output notation `ries`
uses.
I could probably give it a try if I get some time. Of course, other
developers are free to do so as well :)
