If you want to do this for the command-line interface to Sage, you should talk to the IPython folks (http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/), since that's the shell that Sage uses. As for the license issue, IPython is BSD-licensed, so I don't think you can incorporate GPL code into it. I see you've asked about this before (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ipython/+bug/382638)! We may be able to incorporate this in Sage using Fernando's suggestion there. Dan -- --- Dan Drake ----- http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~drake -------
