straighter 0.1.0

UNKNOWN

Straighter is a program for manipulating straight line programs.

Straighter can be run as a Python 2, Python 3 or Sage Python module. For even more speed (~25% more) consider running straighter with the -O optimise bytecode option.

Installation

Straighter is available on the Python Package Index. The preferred method for installing the latest stable release is to use pip (included in Python 2.7.9 and Python 3.4 by default):

> python -m pip install straighter --user --upgrade

Warning

As of Sage 6.9, Sage no longer appears to load packages from the user directory. Therefore users may need to either install straighter directly into Sage (which may require superuser privileges) or add the path to straighter to their SAGE_PATH environment variable.

Usage

Once installed, import straighter by using:

> import straighter
