For the record, sagenb.org is nearly back. I configured a virtual machine, put all the sagenb.org worksheets in it, got it a static ip address on the network, etc. Everything worked locally, but there was some nontrivial problem probably with the university's local firewall or other networking configuration, which I still have to resolve. So with luck sagenb.org will be back very soon. Also, having it run in its own dedicated isolated virtual machine is very nice, since I can tell exactly how much resources it is using at any given time, which will be very helpful for debugging. > However, I did try it on our > departmental server (which is 3.0.4, I think) and it also blew up. > > Sample function which causes problems: > > sage: def plot_or_not(): > ....: ''' > ....: What's up with this? x^3 > ....: ''' > ....: f(x)=x^3 > ------------------------------------------------------------ > File "<ipython console>", line 5 > SyntaxError: can't assign to function call (<ipython console>, line 5) > > Experimentation reveals that the apostrophe is causing the trouble. > As you can see, I now have had time to try this in the console, as > well as the other problems on the linked worksheet, so I'm baffled. > > I hope it's not my architecture - PPC OSX.4. > > - kcrisman > > > -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
