Yes, I am definitely not saying that Sage should go any route. That's william's and people's who actually do coding for Sage decision. But nevertheless that's the way I work. > $ sage -server > $ sage -client s.py Then again I need to startup some things etc. I don't like that. I just want a plain simple python script, that works in regular system wide python using standard tools (in my case in Debian) and that's it. I am willing to put one LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my .bashrc, as I don't have any other option at the moment, but I'd like to fix this one too -- probably when Sage enters Debian. I also like to produce small python files using the optparse module to provide very convenient scripts. For example today I created this one to produce some reports to my school: http://freehg.sympy.org/u/certik/forestfire/file/304f6a1bdcf5/sim.py So when I want to calculate something with some integrals or symbolic matrices, I don't want to start up some server or something. Just a regular python library.
