Comment (by kcrisman):

 You already have #16333 for the purposes of actually writing the gambit
 interface, as long as a few examples we test here work out properly this
 time I think this ticket should be ''just'' for adding gambit.  Maybe you
 could put in a couple absolutely minimal gambit-optional doctests to
 verify that it imports and creates a game, I guess.  This could be in a
 file gambit.py that just serves as a way for people to test and use it
 independently of Sage (though see below because of the preparser):

 For instance, I still get the following (it does compile now):
 {{{
 sage: sage: import gambit
 sage: sage: gambit.Game.new_tree()
 EFG 2 R "" { }
 ""

 t "" 0
 sage: g.players[0].label="A"  # turns out not to work in Sage because of
 preparer, that's okay
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 TypeError: collection indexes must be int or str, not Integer
 sage: g.players[int(0)].label="A"
 }}}
 I can't find the previously non-working version in the documentation now,
 maybe that was changed.  For posterity, it doesn't work now.
 {{{
 sage: sage: gambit.new_tree()
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call
 last)
 <ipython-input-3-46627785e350> in <module>()
 ----> 1 gambit.new_tree()

 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'new_tree'
 }}}

 Travis, did you try any actual gambit examples?  If these work I guess
 that would be enough.

 Vincent, I think that the gambit documentation still leaves something to
 be desired.  For instance,
 {{{
 In [1]: g = gambit.Game.read_game("e02.nfg")
 }}}
 doesn't work right, because the file is not there (I guess).  In R and
 similar things there is a standard way to access such built-in examples.
 Not necessary per se, but it would be nice if examples worked right.
