sagemath_lie: Representation theory of complex semisimple Lie groups/algebras with LiE¶

What is included¶

• Interface to LiE

• the binary wheels on PyPI ship a prebuilt copy of LiE

Examples¶

Starting LiE from the command line without explicit installation:

$ pipx run --spec "passagemath-lie" sage -sh -c lie

Version Information¶

package-version.txt:

10.8.10

version_requirements.txt:

passagemath-lie ~= 10.8.10.0

Installation commands¶

$ pip install passagemath-lie~=10.8.10.0

$ sage -i sagemath_lie

However, these system packages will not be used for building Sage because spkg-configure.m4 has not been written for this package; see upstream Issue #27330 for more information.
