+1 on extending the executable
parameter to be an iterable of strings, not just a string, for such uses - executable=['ecm', 'gmp-ecm']
. PR please
The question of configuration, right now done on a case-by-case basis using configuration variables, is separate
as discussed in https://groups.google.com/g/sage-release/c/Y8AsReUJrNw/m/n91Uywg0BQAJ
Expected Behavior
docs should be present
Actual Behavior
no docs present
Environment
There are now more cases where Feature may have different executables, depending on platform of version. One such feature is ECM (
ecm
vsgmp-ecm
), another, just found, ImageMagick (convert
vsmagick
, see #38135). It would be good to have a meaningful API for this, not dependent on a global variable (the way ECM case is done now).This of course means that some sort of initialisation has to be done - during which absolute file name etc, can well be cached, so that there is not search through
PATH
etc every time this is invoked.Checklist
