SageMath Package Template

A lightweight template that shows how to structure a SageMath package and ship a couple of runnable demos.

Quick start

• Install the package in editable mode with sage -pip install -e .
• Run the elliptic curve demo: sage -python elliptic_curve_demo.py
• Try the simple Sage script: sage -python hello_world.sage

Just shortcuts

• just prepare – create the Sage-aware virtualenv and install the package editable
• just run – execute the elliptic curve demo inside that virtualenv
• just test – run the unit tests with Sage's Python

Running tests

Use Sage's Python so Sage-specific imports resolve correctly when you run the bundled unittest suite:

sage -python -m unittest discover -s tests -t .

Project layout

• demo_package/ – minimal package source code
• elliptic_curve_demo.py – Python entry point using SageMath
• hello_world.sage / hello_world.sage.py – companion Sage script demo
• tests/ – example unittest-based tests

Feel free to copy this template, rename the package, and extend the demos for your own SageMath projects.
