Sorry for my confusion and misunderstanding. Thought the whole Gui was all in Javascript. Thanks for explaining. Please, is there a document that explains well how the Gui front end works. I really would like to try to get help and add to the gui for my needs. Is there an RTF version of the Ref gu

I hate to ask the obvious. Why was the gui front end not created in Python in the first place or replaced by a Py make over?? Surely, Someone with advanced Javascript skills can come up with something better? I dont mean to step on toes but Gui is often everything to me to use software well. --

Nope, worksheet barfed trying this. I suspect the huge text info was just too much. Cant this be rerouted to a text file while its loops through. If so, how? On Mar 21, 12:21 am, Marshall Hampton wrote: > There might be a better way of doing this, but one way to get the > docstrings that show up

nope that code snippet failed to work too in a worksheet. see my comment in above posting of mine. I am surprised its this hard to suck out all the keywords/functions with their docstring stuff. How was the PDF produced? Cant that code be shared so I can hack it to get just what I need. On Mar 21

There might be a better way of doing this, but one way to get the docstrings that show up with ? is: q = globals().keys() q.sort() docstrings = [eval(x).__doc__ for x in q] It really depends on what exactly you want to do though - it may be more helpful to use a dictionary where the keys are the

Cool, very helpful. Thank you! Ok I get 1555. I can list them if you want. Whats missing then?? Next, how do I get the '?' info for each function in a loop in a worksheet? I guess I need a py script to scrap out the docstrings from each modules (so I can sort/arrange the functions correctly)? Agai

nope: No object '' currently defined. Or does this need to be done only via terminal not in a cell? On Mar 20, 4:51 pm, Paul Zimmermann wrote: >    Another quick option: is there a way to get a listing of all the >    commands/functions/keywords used in SAGE (the top level not at the >    source

Another quick option: is there a way to get a listing of all the commands/functions/keywords used in SAGE (the top level not at the source code level)? Can that listing be done within context of topical arrangement?? Inside SAGE in a cell or exported as a text file? Thanks. Andrew --~--~-
