pypolymake 0.1.beta1

What is it?

This Python module provides wrappers for polymake

https://polymake.org/doku.php

The language has been kept as close as possible as the original. The following polymake construction:

polytope> $c = cube(5);
polytope > print $c->F_VECTOR;
32 80 80 40 10

is translated in Python as:

>>> from polymake import *
>>> c = cube(5)
>>> c.F_VECTOR()
(32, 80, 80, 40, 10)

Installation

To install you currently need Sage but the library is mostly Sage agnostic. You need to download (or clone) this repository and run the command:

$ sage -python setup.py install --user

(the –user argument make the installation in your home)

On OS X, need to make sure that libperl is found:

$ sage -sh (sage-sh) $ export LDFLAGS=”-L/System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/ $LDFLAGS” (sage-sh) $ python setup.py install –user

It is planned to make it available on pypi as soon as Sage is not needed anymore.
