As a test, you can get this behavior right now as follows. 1. Execute the following in an input cell: S = Sage(python=True, preparse=False) S._Expect__command = "sage-native-execute /usr/bin/python -u" python = S 2. Then select "python" from the list of systems. A similar trick should work for using the system-wide GAP... it might be this (not tested): G = Gap() G._Expect__command = "/usr/local/bin/gap -r -b -p -T -o 9999G /Users/wstein/s/data//extcode/gap/sage.g" gap = G -- William -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
