Hi,

I'm trying to create a project in Sage and ultimately want to run all my .sage files to get things going. So I want to have one run.sage file which I can load from the Sage command line:

load /SAGE_ROOT/Project/run.sage.

This works beautifully if I have all my functions and classes defined in this one file. Ideally I want to have this one file open all my other files so that I can be more modular in my coding.

But this load command doesn't work when it's within a file. Why? I have tried sage_eval and eval.... but it's not working. It tells me it does not recognize the path or something....

Any tips?

Thanks.

You probably don't specify paths to your files right. Here is a simple test showing that one can perfectly use load within another loaded file:

nash:tmp dima$ cat a.sage 
a = 2

nash:tmp dima$ cat b.sage 
load a.sage
nash:tmp dima$ sage 
---------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 5.3.beta2, Release Date: 2012-08-16                   |
| Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface.        |
| Type "help()" for help.                                            |
---------------------------------------------
sage: load b.sage
sage: a
2

yes that's perfect. I'm speaking about the load command within the file though. For example, in "a.sage" above, put the command load b.sage. Then have a file called "b.sage" with b=2.
