under the GNU General Public Licence GPLv2+.
It is a fork of SageMath, which has been developed 2005-2025 under the
motto "Creating a Viable Open Source Alternative to Magma, Maple,
Mathematica, and MATLAB".
The passagemath fork uses the motto "Creating a Free Passage Between
the Scientific Python Ecosystem and Mathematical Software
Communities." It was created in October 2024. A major new stable
release 10.6.1 is now available:
https://github.com/passagemath/passagemath
For Sage users/developers:
- The passagemath project maintains a stable version of the Sage
distribution, supporting system Python 3.10–3.13, and provides the
traditional installation mode using "make configure && ./configure &&
make build".
- New packages: CMR, Macaulay2, mpsolve, pplite/pplitepy, Py4ti2.
- Numerous package upgrades, carried out with rigorous platform
portability testing on a wide range of platforms.
- In passagemath-10.6.1, the Sage library is up to date with SageMath
10.7.beta6 (2025-06).
For Python users:
- Provides the full functionality of Sage, installable instantly from
binary wheels on PyPI:
https://github.com/passagemath/passagemath?tab=readme-ov-file#full-installation-of-passagemath-from-binary-wheels-on-pypi
- Binary wheels are available for Python 3.10–3.13, Linux and macOS,
ARM and x86_64
- Binary wheels are available for a subset of the functionality for
native Windows on x86_64.
For Sage package authors:
- Provides 71 modularized distributions of portions of the Sage
library that can be declared as build-time and run-time dependencies,
making your package a first-class member of the Python "ecosystem":
https://github.com/passagemath/passagemath?tab=readme-ov-file#modularized-distributions
For downstream packagers:
- Each of the 71 modularized distribution packages is provided on PyPI
in the form of sdists that adhere to PEP 517/518.
https://pypi.org/org/passagemath/
- Use "export SAGE_CONF_FILE=/dev/null" to disable the passagemath
confectionery (https://pypi.org/project/passagemath-conf/), or specify
a file to side-load configuration values.
- Non-Python dependencies of each distribution package are declared in
pyproject.toml in the format proposed by draft
https://peps.python.org/pep-0725
For upstream projects:
- Consider adopting the modularized passagemath distribution package
that provides an interface to your library as the official Python
interface package.
