Thanks Carl, I am pretty sure I used a relative pathname... the only command I typed was the first line. The "cd" command was produced by sage; this was in fact the only pathname that would actually find the file.
When I use an absolute pathname instead, the error is: "finance/FinanceDate.py does not exist!" instead of "abort: /finance/FinanceDate.py not under root" On Mar 2, 12:07 am, Carl Witty <carl.wi...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 11:12 PM, Phaedon Sinis <phaedonsi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > ------------------- > > sage: hg_sage.add('/finance/FinanceDate.py') > > Adding file /finance/FinanceDate.py > > cd "/Users/phaedonsinis/sage/devel/sage" && hg add "/finance/ > > FinanceDate.py" > > abort: /finance/FinanceDate.py not under root > > ------------------- > > Here, you're giving hg_sage.add() an absolute path name, where you > probably wanted a relative one.
