Hi, all,
I just ran into something weird, on Mac OS X using Terminal and sage.
I pasted about 16 lines of sage code into Terminal, and it got really
confused. The "echoed" character strings began to look like
recursively escalating repeats of part of the last string:
g3 = MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 = MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 =
MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 = MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 = MS(eval(str( g3 =
MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 = MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 = MS(eval(str(GG.Geng3 =
MS(eval(strgsage:
GG = gap("ImfMatrixGroup( 12, 3 )")
This is from the doctest in groups/matrix_grps/
matrix_group.py:as_permutation_group, FWIW:
g3 = MS(eval(str(GG.GeneratorsOfGroup()
[3]).replace("\n","")))
The pattern continued, with increasing length, until sage got tired
and complained of bad syntax.
After fooling around with it for a bit, it appears to be somewhat
random: sometimes I get the failure pasting the same set of lines over
and over; and sometimes, that set of lines works w/o problem.
I suspect that it's a Terminal problem, but it may also involve either
sage's use of readline, or readline itself.
I'm posting here in case it rings any bells.
