I forwarded your email to sage-support in hopes of getting a quality sensible answer to your questions (since they aren't too difficult).

Is this in the notebook or the command line. In the notebook this shouldn't happen -- indeed you should get a simple error and have the option to click for a traceback. In the command line you will indeed get a traceback by default. I don't know whether this can be turned off (I didn't write the command line -- Fernando Perez did -- it's IPython). > 3) finally, I would like to be able to change the port that the > notebook server runs on, as I have icecast2 running on port 8000. > (Actually, now that I check, it asks me to use port 8001, so I don't > know if this is a problem or not). The notebook will automatically search for the first avaiable port after 8000. You can also specify an explicit port, e.g., notebook(port = 8123) It's best to use a port > 1024, since smaller ports often require root access. > Again, I haven't had any major problems, and it looks like SAGE will > be a great help for me; thanks very much for creating it.
