Hi!

I'm the developer of the justbases package: https://github.com/mulkieran/justbases. I developed it in support of the justbytes package: https://github.com/mulkieran/justbytes.

justbases is a package with a very narrow focus, but what it does it does reliably and correctly (and can boast 100% code coverage). It was always intended to be a very low-level library, and does not have a command-line portion or a very user-friendly API. The approach that I believe should be taken is that other packages can supply those deficiencies in the manner that seems best to them.

So, I have a small personal project that involves locating packages that can use my library, and constructing PRs that achieve this. You have been selected as the first candidate as your package has only recently been added to PyPi and the PR is fairly easy to construct.

The things I gain from this are better exercising of justbases (I had to extend one of my methods in justbases with an additional parameter to do this PR), proof that the justbases API is generally well-designed, and better publicity. If you merge I can redirect would-be users of justbases who would like a more convenient API or CLI to your package with confidence. What you might gain from this exchange is potentially more users, and also a greater confidence in the mathematically correct behavior of your own library.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

P.S. Also, if you have any suggestions about ways to make justbases more efficient, those would be welcome. I am not a mathematician, and the approach I have taken was the simplest I could imagine.
