The tutorial and reference manual are available for anyone to read.
If you leap into a new language without doing a little reading, you
can always run into trouble. Sage is not precisely Python, although
it is built on Python as a base. You should not infer from that that
the two are identical.
People coming from a Mathematica background should not assume that
they know all there is to know about how to use a Computer Algebra
System, and instead, read the documentation.
Remember, Sage is short for "Sage is not Mathematica" :-}
