There's no shortage of Condorcet methods (even rank-only ones), which could risk cluttering your interface in some way if someone decided to code a bunch of them. Are the new methods enabled as an option by the poll creator, or do you reserve the right to veto new methods, or how does this work? I looked at the link but it doesn't seem that this is an emphasized feature of the site. Thanks. Kevin Venzke Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
Re: [EM] New Python library implementing voting methods
Python is a bit nicer than Perl, but if you implement your voting method in Perl, you can plug it into CIVS. Then people can and will start using it for real polls. For the software see: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/w8/~andru/civs/changelog.html Cheers, -- Andrew On 7/22/64 2:59 PM, Juho Laatu wrote: There sure are many programmers on this list as you can guess also from the latest mails.

[EM] New Python library implementing voting methods
Hey folks, Not sure if there are programmers on the list (I'm new to it as of last week), but I thought I'd share just in case. I've pushed out an early release of a pure-Python voting methodologies library. Here's the announcement: https://launchpad.net/ballotbox/+announcements As the announcement states, it's only a partial set. The blurb also has links to PyPI, docs, download, and bug reporting. My interest in this started as a result of experimenting with self-organizing networked objects, and the need to elect a peer as a proxy in unreliable/hostile environments.
