Thank you for pointing this out. Honestly, that wasn't really my main point. I just wanted to point out that SAGE has the capabilities to become a powerful tool to be actually used by engineers during their job, rather than being a very beautiful toy. So, in my opinion I would prefer to get

I recently had a meeting with a maths educator who is very interested in using Sage for undergraduate maths and cryptography. The above coloured output issue is one of his feature requests. Have you tried editing $HOME/.sage/ipython/ipythonrc Or customizing the font-lock-mode of

You are so kind in asking me this! Well, I find that labels are SO beautiful and powerful, especially something like the way gmail let us use them. I agree that probably a label system, incorporated with an efficient search method (or filtering) would probably be even better to use and (maybe)

So, up to now, my wishlist is: - better Laplace, Fourier, Zeta, any other transform management (especially in symbolic) - unit of measurement integration - extensible comparison between different implementations of all those features in the different packages (better to do the
