Modernizing PHCpack through phcpy
PHCpack is a large software package for solving systems of polynomial
equations. The executable phc is menu driven and file oriented. This paper
describes the development of phcpy, a Python interface to PHCpack. Instead of
navigating through menus, users of phcpy solve systems in the Python shell or
via scripts. Persistent objects replace intermediate files.Comment: Part of the Proceedings of the 6th European Conference on Python in
