Sounds good. However, I don't think that modifying sage-env, as the
trac ticket suggests, will fix things for the issue I'm discussing
here. I changed the appropriate line of sage-env to
PYTHONPATH="$SAGE_PATH:$SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python:$SAGE_PYTHONPATH"
&& export PYTHONPATH
which works, meaning whatever is in my SAGE_PYTHONPATH shows up in
sys.path in Sage. However, it doesn't make my doctests work. Just to
check, I put
sage: import sys
sage: sys.path
in a docstring (with a blank line following), and so sys.path is spit
out by one of the errors. It doesn't include the contents of my
SAGE_PYTHONPATH. If you know where the PYTHONPATH is set for 'sage -
t', could you add a request to modify that in the trac ticket too?
