Hi everyone,
in sage 4.3.1 ~/.sage/init.sage is not automatically attached in the
notebook. I use the file to add a custom directory to sys.path. I can
import my own packages when running sage from the command line, but
not from the notebook.
Previously, I used the 4.1.1 release and init.sage was attached
automatically so I could import my own packages from within the
notebook. I'm on a macbook pro (15'' unibody), but still using OS X
10.5.8 (just didn't had the time to upgrade). Before, I downloaded
sage binaries, but the new binary is for 10.6 only so I had to compile
from source.
For a quick test, I added the line:
testvar = 'test'
to the file init.sage. The variable is defined when using sage from
the command line:
felix$ sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 4.3.1, Release Date:
2010-01-20 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for
information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
sage: testvar
'test'
but after calling notebook() and creating a new worksheet, the
variable is not defined:
>>> testvar
NameError: name 'testvar' is not defined
Since I couldn't find any documentation on changes regarding
init.sage, I assume this is a bug in the latest release. Is this the
case? I realise, that sage 4.3.1 includes a new notebook release and
that the format for saved notebooks has changed.
Felix
