Is it possible to add this package? I am currently working on a project which requires this package.

It doesn't look popular enough to justify us building it. But if you'd like to build it yourself, you could license our package build tool, which was used to build everything in our native package repository. For more details, see #175 (comment).

From looking at python-flint, and the similar package flint-py, it looks like you'd have to build not only the Python package, but also the native libraries flint, arb, mpfr and mpir. I think it would be possible, but it could be a bit of work.

It's been over a year and only one person has requested this package, so we won't be adding it in the foreseeable future.

However, the package build tool is now open-source, so if you'd like to try building this package yourself, follow the instructions here. And if you're successful, please make a pull request so we can add it to the public repository.

If anyone else wants this package, please click the thumbs-up button above and post a comment, and I'll reopen the issue.
