Thanks very much for the explanation. Yes, I know of: http://www.sagemath.org/doc/html/tut/node48.html#sec:standalone
But as Timothy said, I want to use it like this: #!/usr/bin/env python import sys from sage.all import * if len(sys.argv) != 2: print "Usage: %s <n>"%sys.argv[0] print "Outputs the prime factorization of n." sys.exit(1) print factor(sage_eval(sys.argv[1])) Because I personally don't like the preparsing and also this way it is more intuitive for me. I am looking forward to this feature. Because being able to use in Debian: apt-get install python-sage and then just start regular python and import sage and I would have a fully functional environment, I think that would be awesome. Are you considering getting it into Debian? I am not sure if it is a problem, that the binary package will be like 100MB.
