Hi,

Twice in the last day I've hit this deprecation warning due to making
a stupid typo:

sage: d(N) = (1/2)*(N^2-1)(N^2-N)/(N-1)       # contains stupid typo
/Users/wstein/sage/install/current/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/IPython/iplib.py:2073:
DeprecationWarning: Substitution using function-call syntax and
unnamed arguments is deprecated and will be removed from a future
release of Sage; you can use named arguments instead, like EXPR(x=...,
y=...)
   exec code_obj in self.user_global_ns, self.user_ns

I've been trying to get rid of this mistake in symbolic calculus since
probably 2007.   I say we get rid of it soon, e.g., in sage-4.8 (or
certainly in sage-5.0).  It's time for it to go.

+1.


FYI, I made this change as part of my in-progress work on polishing up fast_callable at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/5572. That said, that ticket is on the back-burner for me, so certainly don't wait for that ticket to finish.

Thanks,

Jason
