For learning Python, I recommend:
http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
and
http://www.diveintopython.org/
Regarding your code, edit it in a file say "foo.sage", then in Sage type:
sage: load foo.sage
Regarding endif, endfor, etc., you might want to put them in as comments, e.g.,
if not pr in range(newtab.nrows()):
print('invalid pivot row in function nx')
return 'invalid pivot row in function nx'
...
#endif
I did that a lot when I first started using Python.
The "int"'s here make no sense: "def nx(Tableau,int pr,int pc):"
,because Python does not have type declarations in function
definitions. Python is a dynamically but strongly typed language.
