Load notebook .sws file into shell

edit

For the second part of the question, I would advice to

• write code in python files (such as sehrschoen.py) or in .sage files. The difference is that .sage files are preparsed, so that you can used exactly the same syntax as in the notebook (things like 4^4 or R.<x>=QQ[] that are not allowed in pure python). I prefer to use .py files, because it is this kind of files that form the source code of sage.

• use the magic command %attach sehrschoen.py to attach this file to your session when you want. This is better than load, because every modification of the file triggers the reloading automatically.

The .sws format is actually .tar.bz2 -- a compressed directory containing the input and output for each cell. So you can uncompress it with the tar command to extract your original input into a .sage file. See

Unfortunately I don't know of an automated tool to do this, but it should be reasonably straightforward.

You could possibly use sage -sws2rst for partial automation. It creates a ReST document that should have Sage input/output blocks in it as a text file. You'd still have to extract those, or possibly just put triple quotes around all the text.

But I don't think there is an automated way to turn a worksheet into a .sage file, nor could there really be since most worksheets aren't meant to be run as scripts. At least, mine aren't - it would create a huge mess of things defined before or after other things!
