[sage-support] Re: Mac OS X Sage App
(1) Is there anyone else in the Sage community interested in working on this Mac OS X app? Preferably with Mac OS X programming experience, but I could also use some help with the Unix side of things. I have some experience with the Mac OS X side of things and some with the Unix side. I'm certainly willing to help. I don't know if you've done this, but building Sage as a Framework and using PyObjC might make things easier after the initial pain of setting everything up. I investigated PyObjC when I started this project, and I learned that the support for PyObjC in Mac OS X is not as strong as one might think. If this is going to become a serious Mac application, rather than just a simple wrapper, then it probably makes the most sense to use Objective-C. If you use TextMate for your coding, there is a Mercurial bundle (and a XCode bundle). Alternatively, we probably could set up a Subversion repository somewhere. I know that git has a git-svn gateway, I'm not sure if Mercurial has the same. It's easiest to use XCode's editor, and I think subversion is the way to go. I cannot set up a subversion server at my college, but I can try to do it on my cohomology.com server. -- Greg -- Gregory D.

[sage-support] Mac OS X Sage App
One more question for Greg: What happened to the OSX Sage app you showed at Dev1? We are really anxious to get it merged into Sage since it looked really cool :) Cheers, Michael I've been scrambling to finish a commercial iPhone application, which should be done any day now. Then I'll return to the Mac OS X Sage app. The version I showed at Dev 1 needs a lot of work before it can be merged into the Sage distribution, but this does bring up a few questions: (0) I would like to invite suggestions from everyone for what they would like to see in a Mac OS X Sage app. (1) Is there anyone else in the Sage community interested in working on this Mac OS X app? Preferably with Mac OS X programming experience, but I could also use some help with the Unix side of things. (2) What is the best way to make the code available, with the intent of merging it into the Sage distribution? This is not Python code that is part of Sage, but rather a platform-specific wrapper. I would be happy to post the code-in-progress on my own site and link to it from the Sage Wiki. The Mac OS X XCode development environment has GUI support for CVS, Subversion, and Perforce version control, but does not explicitly support Mercurial. -- Greg -- Gregory D.

[sage-support] Notebook sign-up email
When you sign up for a Sage Notebook account, Sage sends an e-mail to the address you provide giving you a link to complete the registration. First of all, the Sign up for a Sage Notebook account says that the e-mail is needed if you forget your password, but makes no mention of the fact that the e-mail will be needed immediately to complete the registration process. If Sage asks for a user's e-mail address, it should correctly indicate what that e-mail address is for. Otherwise, e-mail from the Sage notebook is technically spam. Secondly, I am running the Sage notebook on a machine which my college's support staff will not allow to run a mail server (all of the mail on campus needs to be handled by their own antiquated servers, which has less storage space than my iPod to store e-mail for 2000 users). Is there any way to turn off the sending of e-mail from the Sage Notebook? -- Greg -- Gregory D.

[sage-support] Re: Notebook sign-up email
I am running a Sage notebook server for my students. Every time one of my students creates an account, the notebook sends the student an e-mail with a link to confirm their e-mail address. However, that e-mail gets bounced back to the server since my machine is not authorized to send e-mail messages. However, the bounced back message cannot be delivered since my server does not support incoming mail, and the message gets stuck in my college's mail queue. Then I get nasty messages from my college's unix system administrator. I want to turn off the feature of the notebook that sends out e-mail messages to everyone who creates an account. As far as I can tell, you can use your newly created account to log in to the notebook, even without receiving the e-mail and confirming your e-mail address. My students and I are able to use Sage just fine. I just want to avoid the complaints from my sysadmin about the bounced e-mail being sent by my server. -- Greg On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 10:15 PM, Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Greg, It's not clear from your message, but are you running Sage locally or are you trying to get an account on a remote Sage installation? If it is a local Sage installation then no emails need to be sent for any reason in order to have the notebook interface work. Clarify things if you don't get Sage to work. Take care.

[sage-support] Notebook insecure by default
Hello, I just noticed that as of Sage 3.0.1, the notebook has default secure=False. While that is all well and good for localhost use, I run a Sage notebook server, and I need to set secure=True. I would happily do so explicitly, except that I have my computer configured to automatically start the sage notebook from the command line, and I have not been able to get Sage to change the secure setting from the command line. My current working Sage command is: /Applications/sage/sage -notebook ~/.sage/sage_notebook 8000 greg.bard.edu but starting with Sage 3.0.1, this opens an insecure server, which on startup tells me that I must be crazy. According to the notebook? help, if I wanted to run in secure mode I would need to use the command /Applications/sage/sage -notebook ~/.sage/sage_notebook 8000 greg.bard.edu 0 True However, sage is complaining about the 0, presumably for the port_tries parameter, giving me the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File /Applications/sage/local/bin/sage-notebook, line 14, in module notebook(*sys.argv[1:]) File /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/notebook/notebook_object.py, line 143, in __call__ return self.notebook(*args, **kwds) File /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/notebook/run_notebook.py, line 266, in notebook_twisted port = find_next_available_port(port, port_tries) File /Applications/sage/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sage/server/misc.py, line 91, in find_next_available_port for port in range(start, start+max_tries+1): TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'int' and 'str' Is it treating the max_tries parameter as a string? -- Greg -- Gregory D.

[sage-support] Re: XDroplets for SAGE integration to Mac OS X
You don't need any fancy droplets or applets. You can just use the following AppleScript to activate Sage (take this script and save it as an AppleScript application, then put it in the same directory as the sage UNIX executable): tell application Finder set myFolder to container of (path to me) as string end tell tell application Terminal activate do script (POSIX path of myFolder) sage end tell If on the other hand you want to start the notebook and don't need the terminal window in front, you can use the following AppleScript to open a terminal window in the background and start Sage in notebook mode: tell application Finder set myFolder to container of (path to me) as string end tell tell application Terminal do script (POSIX path of myFolder) sage --notebook end tell What else did you folks have in mind in terms of Mac OS X integration? -- Greg On Tue, Apr 29, 2008 at 9:06 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The README file for SAGE's Mac OS X version mentions that easier environment integration would be in order, were a Mac OS X developer to help. I don't need it myself – I actually prefer to call SAGE manually after opening a terminal window – but has anyone looked into XDroplets [1]? XDroplets is [a] set of launchers that better integrate X11 programs with the Mac OS X environment, along with an application to create new launchers. I haven't bothered to give it much of a look, but since the launchers are (according to the project page) AppleScript droplets [2], I'd bet they will work independently of XDroplets; it should be easy, then, to create an XDroplet launcher for SAGE and include it in the Mac OS X distribution.
