differences between .sage and .spyx in numerical evaluation

the question seems very basic, i'm sorry but i could not find an answer in the documentation.

the content of both files test.sage and test.sage is identical; it's just

a = 1/sqrt(2)
print a

if i run test.sage and with

$ sage test.sage

i get

1/2*sqrt(2)

but the outcome is different from if i run the file test.spyx with

$ sage test.spyx

where i get

Compiling test.spyx...
0.707106781187

how can i prevent sage from numerically evaluating $1/\sqrt(2)$ in .spyx mode?

(i hope i did not post this twice... i can find no trace of the first post)
