I do this in http://sagenb.org/home/pub/69/ by using the standard python functools.partial: http://docs.python.org/library/functools.html Something like: from functools import partial plot(partial(F,1), (t, -1, 1)) Jason -- Jason Grout --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
