error with importing sage into a python file
Im trying to import a sage package (var) in a python file
from sage.all import var
but when run the file Im getting this error :
Error
Traceback (most recent call last):
execfile("/home/sagefolder/SageMath/myapp/core/test.py")

value = sep.join(components)
TypeError: sequence item 0: expected string, NoneType found
my guess was that the problems was related to the env path. but even
sys.path.append('/path/to/the/sage/')
it does not work
It seems it has problem with the value of some env variables like 'SAGE_ROOT' and ... but according to the http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/binary.html#sec-installation-from-binaries (installation manual), if I set the symbolic link
ln -s /path/to/SageMath/sage /usr/local/bin/sage
then all the required env variable are automatically handled.
this module is called from a django views.py which is also installed as a Sage package. if I run the the module using
sage test.py
everything is ok but when it is called from a django view which is also installed as sage packages I got the mentioned error
I would be pleased if anybody can help me as Im doing an important project and I really need to use sage.
