Since up to now no-one seems to be able to answer that question, I'll speculate. Given what it's supposed to do, I think it's hard to replicate without spawning a process: "sage -t" is supposed to compare the results on stdout (and stderr?) to a template. The most straightforward way of doing that is to run a subprocess with redirected stdout/stderr (to either a pipe or a temporary file). In principle you could redirect stdout/stderr of the process itself and run the example there, but the logic would quickly get complicated and if something goes wrong, reporting errors to a sane place becomes hard. I haven't actually looked at the code, so if you find out otherwise, I'd be interested in seeing how these problems are circumvented. -- 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 URL: http://www.sagemath.org
