OK, I've further tweaked the code, so it no longer produces excess label markers. I did this by having it only produce labels for the first frame - it then duplicates them for all the other frames. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to make the frames match in terms of coordinates - I f

I just played around a bit with the new code for Farey symbols in 4.7.2.alpha3 (from ticket #11709). I hate to do this, but I'm going to have to make a public stand here: I think that this code should not have been given a positive review. Among other things, the patch's documentation makes absol

OK, I actually have managed to hack up a modification to the 3d plotting base.pyx file, so that I can make it generate an animation in jmol... however, it's somewhat clunky, and produces a lot of redundant script content in the resulting file. However, using it, I have managed to get an animation r

[sage-devel] Re: getting output from failed commands?

2011-09-29 Thread Volker Braun
It would be easy to capture stdout and stderr from subprocesses. The question is what to do with the output for generic commands? If you run a program whose output/errors you know and understand then you would be using popen2 / pexpect and parse the output, so your python class can raise a suit
