Thanks for reporting all of this and collating and explaining the bugs. I've looked at some, and think I could fix some of them pretty easily.I can't right now, because I'm more busy with other things, and my laptop Mathematica license expired.But once I sort that out, I'll look at these.

Correction, http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8495 fixes some MMA issues, but others remain, and are in #10968. Note, I found the bug I reported in #8495, which was later opened as #10968, within 1-2 minutes of testing with the most basic of examples of Mathematica usage. You can't get much simpler than finding a numerical approximation of Pi. If I understand it correclty, the test failures noted on #8495, which took 13 months to fix, were introduced much earlier in #3587, but nobody had noticed. I know pexpect has been the source of numerous issues in Sage, so I'm not about to rely on pexpect when I can use an interface developed for Mathematica by Wolfram Research, which would undergo far more testing than the Mathematica inferface we have in Sage, which is an optional package underging very limited testing.

I've had several problems with it in the past, and gave up using it. I think part of the issue is the WRI keep changing Mathematica, so what works on one version on one operating system might not work on another. I personally think if we were to provide an interface to Mathematica, it should be using Wolfram Reserach's Mathlink protocol. http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/mathlink/ I've used that a very small amount in the past myself, but there is quite a nice text-based front end for Mathematica http://robotics.caltech.edu/~radford/jmath/ written by someone else, which allows one to recall commands and edit them. That uses MathLink. -- 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

What do those commands give you when run inside a Sage session?
When I try that on the only computer I can access with Mathematica, the
second command fails. Your error message indicates that Mathematica is
somehow not creating the .eps file.
