I'm not sure I want to hide the file. I don't actually use xxx.sage files much, but when I do, I usually just delete the py file right away, and if it's hidden, that's harder to do. I think of hidden files as ones that I don't want to see but I want to keep for a while, not temporary files like these preparsed ones. Do people like to keep the preparsed ones around for a while? Another option: should we by default delete the preparsed file automatically after using it? That is, if you do "sage file.sage", then "file_preparsed.py" (or something like that) would be created, then fed into sage-python, and then deleted at the end. If you wanted to keep the file, you could run "sage -preparse file.sage" on its own. Or I suppose we could store the preparsed files in ~/.sage/preparsed/, with filenames modified to reflect the full path of the original file (so you can have different files "script.sage" in several different directories, and the preparser will create different .py files for each one). > On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 1:23 PM, Felix Salfelder <fe...@salfelder.org> > wrote: > > On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 12:55:32PM -0700, John H Palmieri wrote: > >> Should "sage-preparse" name the preparsed file something safer, in order > to > >> prevent name clashes like this?
