And also for speed issues, as William brought up a year or two ago when we discussed this sort of thing. If you run "sage --gp ...", you want it to start quickly, and not to include the overhead of starting Python. Ticket #21 had a workaround for this: use a shell script for a few basic command line arguments for which speed was important, and then if none of those were present, pass everything to a Python script for more sophisticated option parsing. -- John -- 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
