differences between .sage and .spyx in numerical evaluation

the question seems very basic, i'm sorry but i could not find an answer in the documentation.

the content of both files test.sage and test.spyx is identical; it's just

a = 1/sqrt(2)
print a

if i run test.sage and with

$ sage test.sage

i get

1/2*sqrt(2)

but the outcome is different from if i run the file test.spyx with

$ sage test.spyx

where i get

Compiling test.spyx...
0.707106781187

how can i prevent sage from numerically evaluating $1/\sqrt(2)$ in .spyx mode?

Sorry for the confusion over getting your question approved - somehow you edited it before it was approved (first-time posts need approval to combat spam) and so the question was deleted and closed before ever being seen because it looked like there were duplicate posts. This is a very good question, actually.

@kcrisman : yes, the first time i posted the question it took hours for it to get approved (from stackoverflow i was used to higher speeds...), and i could no longer find any trace of it. so i re-posted, etc etc etc. sorry for the confusion. hope everything is correct now. and yes, after i could not find my question here i posted it over on stackoverflow...

Which begs the question of why it isn't replaced by Sage's even when explicitly imported. Unfortunately the .c and other files are only in temp files so it's not easy to see what is going on - at least a generated .pyx file would be helpful.

thanks for the update. but then: how could i prevent this in .spyx mode?

Right, that is the question! You could use @ndomes workaround and use Sqrt instead of sqrt, but that is not so nice.
