Hello, I was trying to load some python files and found some weird behaviour of the load/attach commands. I have three test files
(a normal file) /home/rado/.sage/test.py (a file with space in the name) /home/rado/.sage/test space.py (a file to take arguments from command line) /home/rado/.sage/ testarg.py In sage prompt: sage: cd /home/rado/.sage sage: load test File 'test' not found ... sage: load test.py Works sage: load test space.py Works (and probably shouldn't so it can enforce quotation marks) sage: load "test space.py" Works sage: load testarg.py arg1 File 'testarg.py arg1' not found ... attach has the same behaviour, except in the documentation it claims there is a function attached_files(), which also gives an error. sage: attached_files() --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NameError Traceback (most recent call last) /home/rado/.sage/test.py in <module>() NameError: name 'attached_files' is not defined ============ In sage notebook: >>>load test Works (note that this didn't work in the prompt) >>>load test.py Works >>>load test.py test.py Works Works (note in prompt this command doesn't behave the same) >>>load testarg.py arg1 Error loading /home/rado/.sage/arg1 -- file not found >>>load test space.py runs test Error loading /home/rado/.sage/space.py -- file not found >>>load "test space.py" runs test Error loading /home/rado/.sage/space.py -- file not found >>>attach test.py >>>attached_files() NameError: name 'attached_files' is not defined ------ Hope this shows the inconsistency in the execution of load/attach in prompt and in notebook. What also worries me is that both fail at passing arguments to the scripted called. I feel that that the ipython %run syntax is the best (of course the decision is up to the developers). I found the code for the prompt in ~/sage-3.4/local/lib/python2.5/site- packages/sage/misc/interpreter.py and looked over it. I know enough python to understand the code there, and I can purpose a patch (once its decided how exactly this should work). I don't know where to look for the notebook interpreter code.
