If you want to access the Sage library from your Python script, you
need to run that script using the version of Python that comes with
Sage. The command "sage -python /path/to/my/python/script.py" should
do the trick. To access the functionalities of Maxima from that
script, you can pass all Maxima commands to the function maxima(). For
example, say I have a Python script as follows and Sage is in my PATH:
[mv...@sage mvngu]$ which sage
/usr/local/bin/sage
[mv...@sage mvngu]$ pwd
/scratch/mvngu
[mv...@sage mvngu]$ cat demo.py
from sage.all import *
print maxima("2 + 3;")
I would then run the Python script "demo.py" as follows:
[mv...@sage mvngu]$ sage -python demo.py
5
and the answer 5 is the output of the version of Maxima that's bundled
with Sage.
