Comment:
Hello,
Why would you import such stuff in the global namespace ? It is a complete
nonsense. I would rather '''remove''' all of `codesize_upper_bound`,
`singleton_bound_asymp`, `plotkin_bound_asymp`, `elias_bound_asymp` and
`mrrw1_bound_asymp` from the global namespace. First of all, some of these
names are not fully expanded as they should be. Most importantly, I think
that most of the users will not use that at all and can not even guess
what it could be.
In order to have a clean interface, I strongly suggest to prefix all of
these with the namespace `codes` (as it is the case with `designs` for
example). In other words
{{{
sage: codes.bounds.plotkin(10,2,3)
192
sage: codes.bounds.elias(10,2,3)
232
}}}
That way, to have access to all bounds for codes you would just have to do
{{{
sage: codes.bounds.<TAB>
}}}
which is much more natural.
Bounds are not only of interest for codes, right? So please clean it up!
Vincent
