I used to have a simple test harness that read in some test page source from a file and called ReplaceInlineAxiom. That is very simple but you have to comment-out any reference to the Zope environment (one one case I think). If you like, I can take a look for it and send you a copy. But now that I have tried iPython interactive shell for Python - motivated by the fact that Sage uses a customized version of iPython for it's command line interpreter - I would say that is definitely a better way to fly! http://ipython.scipy.org/moin > 2.

I did try running Axiom inside fbrun and it seemed to work as I described. This is one of those projects that I was hoping to get to real-soon-now. :) > Is any more information you could provide me? Hmmm... Well as I recall I did get so far as installing X-windows with Xfbdev on axiom-developer.org but its been too long since I did anything with this so I don't recall much more about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xvfb More later, gotta run.
