I am working on a project to do some computations for a specialized theory. Currently, we have several files that define different objects that have various dependencies on each other. Currently, I have a file named "attachall.sage" that looks like
attach "poly.sage" attach "util2.sage" attach "quasihomogeneous.sage" attach "FJRW.sage" attach "algebra.sage"
etc. Then when I want to do some computations, I do sage: load attachall.sage sage: #do stuff with the objects
It works fine, I guess, but doesn't seem particularly clean-- it seems like there should be a preferred way to do this. Should I use python's import? But then I would have to re-preparse every time I changed the source, and have potentially annoying bugs if someone forgot to re-preparse after changing a file. Or should I look into making a spkg? I don't really know a lot about that and I'd like to keep it simple.
Eventually we'd like to be able to share this code with other groups.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
