[sage-support] "who" command - Sage Beginner's Guide example

Hi! I was executing the examples of the Sage Beginner's Guide book when I found a curious behavior in Sage. Whenever I launch Sage and define the variable sage: R = 250e3 and issue the command sage: who the output is Interactive namespace is empty. If I define other variables and issue aga

"who" prints the newly-defined variables, but R is already defined as the r-system.org interface. You can redefine it as you want, but as far as Python is concerned that just changes a variable but doesn't add a new one. On Tuesday, April 23, 2013 10:34:15 PM UTC+1, João Alberto Ferreira wrote

One more thing: it would be really nice (required?) if Elliptic_curve_from_cubic would return the morphism that it found (and perhaps an inverse). Victor On Wednesday, April 24, 2013 8:22:33 AM UTC-4, Victor Miller wrote: > > In Sage 5.8 on a mac. I have a functioning (and licensed) magma on m

Victor, The code at trac #3416 implements all this properly in Sage. It's an ancient ticket but the work on it is new, and it is one of the ones where so many people have wprked on it that there's no-onle left to revview it. That is a pity since Volker did a very nice job on it. But if you are a

I think this problem has to do with attaching a file. I noticed that "attach" has been deprecated. Using either 'attach' or '%attach' seems to cause the proliferation of extra files. The 'load' command or '%runfile' does not seem to have this behavior. The problem with the 'attach' command

Hi, I've never heard of this "who" function, but evidently it is in Ipython so the sage command line automatically has it. Having never heard of "who", I had implemented something similar for Sage back in 2004 (!) called "show_identifiers()", which is like the same function in Magma (which is cal
