It is available standalone, as well as a part of <a href="http://www.pythonxy.com/">Python(x,y)</a>, <a href="http://www.reinteract.org/trac/">Reinteract</a>, or <a href="http://www.sagemath.org/">Sage</a> distributions.</p> <p>Alec</p> The latest comments added to the Post, "Home" Edition? 89277 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 09:28:52 Z Alec Mihailovs Alec Mihailovs
