Hello, When you call, ./example.sage, it is being run by the Python interpreter with no preparsing done at all. Thus, 2^3 corresponds is interpreted as Python interprets it (not exponentiation). When you do "load example.sage", then it is preparsed by Sage, and your '^' gets changed to a "**" in the background. When it is preparsed, you should be able to find an example.py file which can then be run by a normal Python interpreter.
