@dmadisetti I cannot comment on #7151, so let me respond here:

Ah, ok. We can also pre-package the bins for molab, but I think the official sage distribution is what most users would expect

Let me know if I can help with the pre-building of sagemath (which is indeed the recommended Python package to install). It can be installed using pip / uv / ... as documented at https://doc-develop--sagemath.netlify.app/html/en/installation/source (you have to ensure though that all required system packages are available). We are working on providing binary wheels.

Thanks for opening this @tobiasdiez - but I was under the impression sagemath-standard was the general package for distribution

I can't speaking for everyone, but objectively

• sagemath-standard released has indeed stopped since 10.8.b1, and nobody has gotten around to fix it yet
• I'm not working on any packaging aspect.

So, if you can get sagemath to work, great, problems solved. If not, I don't mind providing an unofficial fork (*) for 10 years (**) until sage finally provide binary packages.

(*) if you are scared of malwares, just pin to a particular version. But I doubt... Also that you're stuck on the equivalent of 10.6 or so. You can give a warning to the user if you want.

(**) maybe exaggeration, maybe not.

sagemath-standard refers to the old setuptools-based distribution, which by now is discontinued and no longer present in the sagemath git repo. sagemath is the new meson-based distribution that should be used now (it was introduced in sagemath/sage#39548, at that point still in parallel to sagemath-standard).
