Comment (by ohanar):
Replying to [comment:33 fbissey]:
> Someone should try to contact Alexander or Michael Brickenstein to see
if they will make any new releases. As I see it the first problem will be
to remove scons as the build system for polybori. Autotools+distutils
feels like the right option for it. Then we could work out the python3
migration. Removing polybori would be interesting too but I think it is
ingrained deep in sage.
I don't think it is too deeply integrated into sage, it seems like it is
mainly used for boolean polynomial rings (which themselves don't seem to
be very widely used in the sage library). If it is easier to make a
version of sage compatible with python 3 which doesn't have polybori, than
it is to bring polybori up to speed, I would definitely vote for the
former (especially if it is significantly easier, which I suspect might be
the case ... but I could be completely wrong). In either case, I would
keep polybori around for the python 2 version of sage.
