Thanks for helping. I am trying to compute (not numericaly!) the roots of a quadratic equation build from lagrange_polynomial()... sage: p2 = SR(-3/4*pi)*x^2 + SR(7/4*pi)*x sage: p2.roots(x) [(7/3, 1), (0, 1)] Now we are back to the original question: Why the following rise a type error?? I guess

Hello Folks! Could you help to debug the failure of the following test? sage -t devel/sage/sage/interfaces/r.py Sage was compiled from source (3.1.3) with export MAKE="make - j8" (machine has 8 processors and run RedHat Enterprise Linux 5, 64-bit version). I've upgraded to 3.1.4, and g
