Consider

x = var('x') 
f = 1/(x-3) 

limit(f,x=3,dir='below')

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'l' referenced before assignment

I'm using preformat so I have no idea why the first two statements keep showing up on the same line, but they aren't

The error message is local variable 'l' referenced before assignment. It's variable l (small cap L), not 1. I have reported the issue on sage-dev.

Try with limit(f, x=3, dir='minus').

I think this is a (trivial) bug, thanks for reporting. The code in question is in lines 1228-1245 of calculus.py.

Edit: this is #23048.
