I guess it was too good to be true. :) Clearly if this is a valid entry into Sage (and Python) as it seems it is, it will be difficult or impossible to distinguish from DE notation. A double-quoted string containing the DE definition might be a workaround, but it's too bad this specific syntax has another perfectly legitimate meaning. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
