Re: [Goptical] [ANN] Goptical based project announcement

Hi,

Will be interested to take a look when the improvements are done. I
expect the aspherical element support will be a welcome improvement.

I was wondering if you had any plans for making any python bindings
available. I used goptical a while back for a design, but have since
switched to pyoptools for those kind of tasks. That allows for much
easier integration with other scientific computing tools.
