When working on the documentation for solve, the doctests mysteriously failed after adding to the examples section. The parts that I added weren't complained about, so I decided to do some manual testing.
If you solve an equation and the answer has a dummy variable, it produces the correct result. However, if you try to solve the same equation, the answer is different, but is still mathematically correct. The coefficient of the dummy variable went up some integer amount. If you tried to solve the equation again, the coefficient went up again (by the same amount.) This was really a pain when trying to do doctests and I couldn't figure out why they failed when I hadn't touched the parts that failed. I've already opened a trac ticket, #12809, which has more detailed information. -- 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
