Sorry, I didn't phrase my question clearly enough, let me try again. I'm
honestly really interested in the answer, both from Sébastien and from
Nathann (and please do not change the question!)
I don't really care myself about the mathematica interface. But it
happens that mathematica 10.0 is installed on my machine in my lab and
that most of the people in my lab use mathematica rather than sage. They
won't test the mathematica doctests in the sage library since they are
not sage developpers.
Let's assume the story ends here. You use Sage only and other people use
Mathematica only, on the same lab computer. You have never used
Mathematica and in fact do not care about it at all. As it happens, the
version of Mathematica installed is a very old outdated version which is
not compatible with the newer Sage interface.
Now every time you run "make ptestlong" you will see doctest failures
related to Mathematica. Those failures cannot really be fixed, since the
features that the doctests need are not available in the old version of
Mathematica on your machine.
Would you be bothered by the fact that you will always see those doctest
failures that you cannot get rid of, just because somebody installed an
outdated version of Mathematica on that machine?
Jeroen.
