ImportError: No module named RealDistribution
I'm fairly new to sage, so this may be a dumb question. On the web interface the following code
T=RealDistribution('gaussian',.5)
runs without issue, however on my local machine, sage throws a not defined error
NameError: name 'RealDistribution' is not defined
I found this strange because it worked fine on the web interface and is almost a line strait from the manual, but I thought that maybe just something wasn't importing or something like that, so I tried the following import statements, but to no avail.
import sage.all
import sage.gsl.probability_distribution.RealDistribution
My questions are: why does it work on the online sagemath but not on my local machine, and what can I do to make it work?
This should work without problem (i just tested it). How did you launch Sage on your local machine ? Which version ? Which OS ?
I had the code saved in a file and then ran the file with
For sage version, I have the current one off of the apt repos, which appears to be 6.7. My OS is a 64-bit Linux Mint 17.
Do you want to use the Sage notebook or the command line ?
Command line. I didn't think about doing it in notebook, and so I just went and tested that and it worked, but running it from the command line would be preferable.
OK, i edited my answer accordingly, please tell us if it worked.
