Anyone objections on merging this branch in, to include an example of how to handle Cython code?
Sébastien: shall we take 5 minutes tomorrow to do it together?

Should we close this PR? It seems that all the changes it incorporates are already present in the @mkoeppe 's branch.

I am currently at Sage Days 117. There was a demo earlier this week on how to share code and create a package where we used sage_sample. I am now taking a look at all the PR that have been here for years now...

No discussion has never been made about who should merge PRs.

The current PR has conflicts. I let the author or someone else fix them.

I think we should get rid of sage_sample and instead point people to real projects that follow best practices.

I second Matthias. All this is very outdated.

Ok, personally, I don't know because I did not follow the evolution of the practices since many years. Do you have a list of real projects that follow best practices in mind?

Yeah, the current version of sage_sample is most likely quite outdated indeed.

I still believe that there is value in having an easy to find minimal example that people
can copy from to get started. A reasonable option would be to wipe this one and
recreate it from scratch using the current best practices. Alas I can't volunteer
(and would not have the required recent expertise anyway).

It could be a cookie cutter instead.

Cheers,
