Revision history [back]

Some years ago, there was a good possibility to start sage in eclipse and develop code with a better feed back of syntax highlight. The debug support makes it also possible to be quick and efficient.

It still works on my very old computers running Ubuntu or mint and an old eclipse.

Now the situation has changed, after eclipse improved some checking. The interpreter sage cannot be define for some check cannot be verified.

What am i doing?

In a terminal, the right sage settings are published via:

sage -sh

Then from the command line:

[dan@... ~]$ sage -sh

Starting subshell with Sage environment variables set.  Don't forget
to exit when you are done.  Beware:
 * Do not do anything with other copies of Sage on your system.
 * Do not use this for installing Sage packages using "sage -i" or for
   running "make" at Sage's root directory.  These should be done
   outside the Sage shell.

Bypassing shell configuration files...

In eclipse neon, there is no chance to configure the interpreter for the executable:

(sage-sh) dan@... :~$ which sage
/usr/bin/sage

via PyDev > Python Interpreter > New > ...

And the reason is (typed by own hands, since copy+paste does not work):

Unable to get info on the interpreter: /usr/bin/sage

Common reasons include...

and so on. Does anybody have a solution to this issue? Thanks in advance!

Some years ago, there was a good possibility to start sage in eclipse and develop code with a better immediate feed back of back, and syntax highlight. (emacs can do this too, but...) The debug support makes it also possible to be quick and efficient.efficient, it is the main reason i need eclipse.

It still works on my very old computers running Ubuntu or mint and an old eclipse.

Now the situation has changed, after eclipse improved some checking. "improved" the install process by additional checkings.

The interpreter sage sage cannot be define defined, for some check cannot be verified.performed.

Note: Yes, it is possible to configure the interpreter located at /usr/bin/sage-python, but then there is still some yoga needed, almost every fifth line written has to be changed, e.g. 2^3 into 2 ** 3 and R.<X> = QQ[] into R = PolynomialRing( QQ, name='X' ) and so on...
