It provides classes like IntegerMatrix for matrix construction, GSO for Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, and LLL/BKZ for lattice basis reduction\u2014the core operations needed to solve lattice problems such as finding short vectors or breaking certain cryptographic schemes.\n\nThe package is a thin Cython wrapper around C/C++ code, so it depends on external libraries (GMP, MPFR, fplll) being compiled and linked at install time. Pre-built wheels exist for common platforms, but installation can require manual compilation on less common architectures. Once installed, it integrates into the Sage computer algebra system and is available via PyPI and Conda-Forge.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need lattice reduction algorithms and can satisfy the C/C++ build dependencies. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and pre-built wheels reduce friction on common platforms. However, the GPL version 2 or later license requires verification against your project's licensing constraints, and the unclear license treatment in metadata warrants explicit confirmation before use in proprietary or restricted-license contexts."},"id":"fpylll","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fpylll","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/fpylll.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/fpylll/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"fpylll","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A Python interface for https://github.com/fplll/fplll"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":102671,"position":12856,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.4"}
