>From the Sage interactive shell, I can load or attach a script "test.sage" that just has the two lines print(factor(2006)) and print(factor(32*x^5)), and it runs exactly as expected with no errors! Furthermore, I can't find a test.sage.py on my system, which I like but confuses me <http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/tutorial/programming.html#section-loadattach>. I suppose I should have tried this earlier, so thanks very much for your suggestion. This is actually better than what I had in mind, because now I just need to load Sage once and not every time I run a script.
I'm going to hold off on marking this as complete for a little bit, in case anyone has a idea what my Sage is behaving so differently from what the tutorials expect. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
