lsmagic doesn't work
When I try to list magic functions with %lsmagic, all I get is <ipython.core.magics.basic.magicsdisplay object="" at="" 0x6fec56dd780=""> Can I access this object somehow?

%lsmagic
seems to need some initialization not provided when starting sage
(which, BTW, runs into an (invisible) IPython session). In a terminal :
charpent@zen-book-flip:~$ sage

Automagic is ON, % prefix IS NOT needed for line magics.
And now:
sage: sqrt(x)
√x
Ditto when you start with %display ascii_art
, but not when you start with %display simple
.
Even more interesting, switching back to %display default
DISABLES %lsmagic
. Nice bug (or buglet...).
This is now Trac#30661.
Yes, I get that response when I issue the command at the standard Sage command line interface.
However if I start Sage with "sage --ipython", I get the ipython interface, and from there, %lsmagic works fine.
Note that sage -ipython
starts a Python session in an IPython console : to get the Sage REPL, you need to %load_ext sage
:
charpent@zen-book-flip:~$ sage --ipython
Python 3.8.5 (default, Aug 2 2020, 15:09:07)

In [1]: 2^3

Thanks for this. I am still low on the learning curve with how all the front-end pieces work together. I have run across some info about how to run Sage within a Python session started the same way, but didn't connect it to the same idea in ipython. Truth be told, I don't use ipython (or sage --python) much, so far, and have been concentrating on the Jupyter notebook interface. Getting a handle on the line magics is going to help me at some point in the near future.
So far, I am using the default python and ipython that I get with the built 9.1 system that I download. Another item on my list is upgrading these components using the package manager or whatever it is called, but I will probably just wait for 9.2 and see what I get.
