In python the range function's third input must be a nonzero integer,
as the second error shows.  In SAGE I get exactly the same error
as you attribute above to Python, so I'm not sure why you claim
SAGE crashes:

sage: for i in range(1,6,0.2):
....:     print i
....:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>            Traceback (most recent call last)

/Users/was/<ipython console> in <module>()

<type 'exceptions.ValueError'>: range() step argument must not be zero

------------

Second, you should use the SAGE 'srange' command for this sort
of thing -- it is like the Python range command, but much more
flexible:

sage: for i in srange(1,6,0.2):
....:     print i
....:
1
1.20000000000000
1.40000000000000
1.60000000000000
1.80000000000000
2.00000000000000
2.20000000000000

That trac was that the line "pari(2.5) > None" crashed.
It doesn't crash anymore though:

sage: pari(2.5) > None
False

Hmm.  Above I'm basically responding that I can't replicate any of the problems
that you're having.  Maybe you could clarify:
  (1) the exact version of SAGE you're using and how you installed it,
  (2) your CPU type
  (3) and give a complete console log starting with you typing "sage" and
illustrating each of the problems you have.
