edits made in this way will only affect the runtime copy. Upon the next sage -b, they will be overwritten with the original definition. If you want to edit sage library code, you can do edit (sage.object.function,editor="vi") or something similar to open an editor on the appropriate definition in the current hg branch. This also works for cython code. Edits only take effect upon the next sage - b. -- 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
