Comment:
This seems to build fine, the script is ok. In terms of experimental,
positive review - it didn't crash anything, and commands actually do
things and give output that is consistent with it.
To release manager - what happens now? It gets uploaded to the Sage
mirrors as experimental package, maybe? Who does that?
But in the interests of improving it - I don't see why this couldn't be an
optional package, if you can find another potential maintainer (different
ticket). If so, you'd definitely want to have a SPKG-TEST file or
whatever, since there are builtin tests. But...
When I do
{{{
sage: import brian
sage: brian.tests()
}}}
I get that I'm missing `nose`. I doubt that `nose` will be a Sage
package anytime soon - or should it, if it makes tests that much easier?
Perhaps upstream would consider having a non-`nose` option for testing.
When I try the brian website examples, it tells me that the Sage
matplotlib backend doesn't support `show()`. That would be another thing
to figure out.
