Comment:
I've recently upgraded it for me to 1.1.2. The problem is, that the
sources from them did not compile on my ubuntu 9.10 machine. So I went to
the [http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-cvxopt ubuntu packges db for
lucid] and grabbed their version. I don't know what they did in their
patch, but I guess it's non trivial...
My spkg is [http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/schilly/sage/spkg/
here].
The only remaining modification I had to made to run the examples from the
cvxopt website in {{{%python}}} mode was to replace
{{{
from random import ...
}}}
to
{{{
from sage.misc.prandom import ...
}}}
in {{{./src/src/python/__init__.py}}} at several places.
'''Q:'''
1. what's the usual/best mechanism to avoid using Sage's {{{random}}} and
switch back to python's random?!
1. i have no idea what the solaris patches did in the older version,
neither do i know how to get it building on another system :(
