[1, 0, 1]
[2, 0, 1]

Too bad I need 60 points to post a png file which is much more readable than the cut and paste from the latest sage math (8.7 I believe) for windows.. I'm running windows 7. For some reason, for i in [9,10,11]: i.digits(base=3) Works Jusf Fine However; for i in range(9,12): i.digits(base=3) Raises an Error Thanks William Stein and all others involved in the development for the free software. Love Sage Math, Sage Math Cell, and Python!!!

The pasted code (once formatted as code) is much more useful than a png file.

With code pasted as text, others can in turn copy and paste pieces of code to their Sage sessions to explore the problem.

Code pasted as a png might "look nice" but is hardly usable for practical purposes.

When you type 9 in Sage, the preparser makes it a Sage integer, that have a .digit method. The range function returns Python ints, who do not have such a method. As you discovered, the srange function returns Sage integers.

Thanks! That makes sense now.

replace range with srange and it works in sage math for windows 8.7
