I was recently thinking about our options for a Sage launcher program This would be a relatively small program that controls VirtualBox, hiding the normal VirtualBox gui. This is pretty easy using the VBoxManage utility. The Sage launcher program could then * download new Virtual Machines if necessary * let the user choose between different versions of the Sage VM * diagnose port / firewall issues * automatically export notebooks from the VM using a bundled ssh client * write the launcher in Python (which we also include) using some Python GUI toolkit (included, too) -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
