I am trying to import only the Sage functions needed as is done in the Sage source code, but I am running into issues. For example, (running sage -python),

>>> from sage.groups.group import Group

results in

...
from sage.rings.complex_double import CDF
File "sage/rings/real_double.pxd", line 8, in init sage.rings.complex_double (/export/pkgs/linux-rh6/sagemath-7.0/src/build/cythonized/sage/rings/complex_double.c:22654)
File "sage/rings/real_double.pyx", line 64, in init sage.rings.real_double (/export/pkgs/linux-rh6/sagemath-7.0/src/build/cythonized/sage/rings/real_double.c:25060)
ImportError: cannot import name ZZ

(I can post the full traceback if that would be helpful.) Similar things happen for almost any import I try. I was using the import_statements to determine what to import.

Am I missing something?

EDIT:

I think I get the picture a little better now. The Sage source files aren't meant to be imported in Python, they are meant to be imported into Sage, which presumably runs import sage.all when it starts.

You first need to import sage.all.

The following should work (I'm including version info for reference):

$ sage -v
SageMath version 8.1, Release Date: 2017-12-07
$ sage -python
Python 2.7.14 (default, Dec  9 2017, 17:25:34) 
[GCC 7.2.0] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sage.all
>>> from sage.groups.group import Group
>>>
