first issue posted

Hi,

I've created the first issue for the psage tracker here:

    http://code.google.com/p/purplesage/issues/detail?id=1

It's to mark all the psage doctests that use maxima as optional.   There are natural similar tickets for scipy and all the other components of sage that aren't in psage.  However, by far, Maxima is the biggest source of doctest failures.

I'm curious if somebody besides me would want to resolve this issue.  I think it is fairly straightforward for pretty much anybody to do.

this seems to be asking for a scrip to automate this...

Just curious: Have you tried to do it first before making that comment?    

An issue is that there are many other failures due to the other missing packages,

and sorting out whether one is caused by missing maxima or not is tricky.   Also, in

going through this, one might want to flag some tests as being things that *should* 

be implemented without using Maxima, though currently they rely on Maxima. 

That said, one could also take a vanilla Sage, delete Maxima from /usr/local/bin/, then

run the test suite.  This would locate exactly the failures that result from removing maxima,

and this could be automated. 

I've pasted this comment at http://code.google.com/p/purplesage/issues/detail?id=1 which is probably where discussion should go.  It's very easy to comment on tickets there.

This is done, IMHO (as reflected on http://code.google.com/p/purplesage/issues/detail?id=1
)
