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.
