I'm pretty sure this works for "normal" usage, which for me, right now, means "not beamer" :-} I have simple Beamer files that compile with the Sage engine, but more complicated ones do not (or, at least, do not compile successfully). I'd hate to tangle with TiKz, for example. This does not get past the problem with the Sage engine tracking file-naming changes, as was discussed in a recent sage-devel thread. Justin -- Justin C.
