Can I run SAGE in an editor

I was wondering if there is a way to use SAGE in an editor like Komodo. I only know how to run it using the terminal, but then if I want to write a lengthy program in SAGE I have to retype it line by line whenever I make a typo.

Also, can I store definitions I write using the SAGE library to be used later (like in python I could make a module)?

I'm using Python 2.7.2, OSX 10.6.8, Sage version 4.1.1 and I have Komodo Edit version 7.1.3.

You can also use a program called cantor.

You can use it from Emacs, anyway. See sage-mode.

You can definitely make a new module for your own purposes; Sage is basically Python under the hood.

Also, you could in theory do the following (I do this very naive workflow sometimes).

  1. Open a Sage file in an editor, called foo.sage.
  2. Open a Sage session, and use attach /path/to/foo.sage to load it up.
  3. Make changes in foo.sage and save them, in your (still-open) editor.
  4. Since you used attach and not load, the changes should now show up (maybe after hitting return?).

Probably you are looking for something more sophisticated, but this does work.
