Piecewise in SageTeX

Hi, am trying to use the "piecewise" command in SageTeX but i get an error no matter what i try. It is like the SageTeX doesnt know what "piecewise" means, like the command "piecewise" is not implemented in SageTeX.

I tried different ways of typing the piecewise command in sage terminal and it works fine.

sage: f=piecewise([[(-15,0),6],[(0,44),sqrt(-x^2+52*x+36)]])

and

sage: f=piecewise([((-15,0), 6), ([0,44], sqrt(-x^2+52*x+36))]);  f

But when i do the same in sagetex and compile with

# sage filename.sagetex.sage

Then i get

**** Running Sage on modul-2.sage failed! Fix modul-2.tex and try again.

I tried inside env, sagecommandline and \sage{} and env. sageblock. I didnt get error in sageblock but then when i tried to plot the function later i got the error anyways.

Can anyone help me from here? How can i define piecewise functions in SageTeX??
