I mentioned this elsewhere in the thread, but I think we can use "--" as an escaper of sorts. (git does this, for example). So `sage test` would run the subcommand "test" with no arguments, and `sage -- test` would run a sage script in a file called "test". -Keshav ---- Join us in #sagemath on irc.freenode.net ! -- 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
