The option "automatic_names" inserts bindings to SR symbols when code that is interactively input references an unbound name (and would raise a NameError). That's orthogonal to SR symbols that get created without being bound to a "global" name. The latter creation may even happen when there's no interactive namespace present in the system, and certainly no obvious reference to one would be available. That means it's not even clear where to insert the binding.
Implementing the feature in IPython is exactly the right place, because that DOES have a good notion of what the interactive namespace would be. I assume CoCalc behaves (largely) as IPython for API purposes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
