This question is relatd with another one: What packages in sage can I use in python?

How do I import Sage into a Python script told me that to use from sage.all import * to import sage packages in python. When I list the installed sage packages, there is igraph and python-igraph. But from sage.all import * will not import them into python. I'd like to know, what kind of packages can be imported when I use from sage.all import *.

BTW, the proper way to use igraph in python is import igraph with python_igraphinstalled.

ps: My karma is insufficient to publish links.

FYI links need to have an explicit http:// in front of them to auto convert. Or you can format them explicitly with the markdown [link descrption](http://example.com/link).

@paulmasson, at the time of posting, the original poster had karma too low to post links.

You can see exactly what is imported with that command from the source code here:

True, but there are LOTS of imports those depend upon and there are some other Python packages those load, etc...

Yeah, but that's where the process starts. Then just follow the imports...
