Thanks. Hmm, but just using var('x',ns=1) didn't fix the problem for
me - it found this problem:
sage/numerical/optimize.pyc in find_root(f, a, b, xtol, rtol, maxiter,
full_output)
58 if a > b:
59 a, b = b, a
---> 60 left = f(a)
But certainly don't bother with a patch unless find_root all of a
sudden no longer will work under pynac. I did still get the correct
answer, after all!
