[sage-devel] Re: standalone sage notebook

2009-09-30 Thread Stan Schymanski
Hi William, This is not a bug, but a feature that has bugged me ever since it has been introduced: When I click on a worksheet from the worksheet list, the worksheet is opened in a new tab in FF. If I then close the worksheet again, I get directed back to the worksheet list in that tab, ending

[sage-devel] parallel doctest broken in Sage 4.1.2.alpha4 if HOME/.sage/tmp doesn't exist

2009-09-30 Thread Minh Nguyen
Hi folks, Dan Drake and I have narrowed down a case where parallel doctesting would be broken with Sage 4.1.2.alpha4. With a freshly compiled Sage 4.1.2.alpha4, or take the sage.math binary for Sage 4.1.2.alpha4, follow these steps and watch the carnage: 1. Delete the directory HOME/.sage, yes t
