Why-oh-why is this not more explicitly stated in the documentation. Thank you, good sir.

Hello,

I'm wondering if there's a more "pythonic" way in which to import user-written SAGE modules.

For instance, I'm able to load in a SAGE file I've written using the load keyword.

load(path_to_sage_file)

That's all well and good, however, as I start to import more and more user SAGE files, where certain functions are coming from becomes less clear. It would be ideal to do something like

from name_of_sage_file import name_of_sage_function

However, this doesn't seem to work. Is there a more "pythonic" way in which to go about doing this? Thanks!

That'll do the trick. Thanks!

Right, but unfortunately I require the use of GAP 4.8.8 instead of 4.8.3 due to KBMAG package. So being able to update GAP in SAGE would be really really helpful to me.

Hello,

I'm attempting to upgrade the version of GAP that is used in SAGE. I installed the most recent version of GAP 4.8.8. When I open SAGE and run

gap.version()
4.8.3

I know I can point the GAP console in SAGE to the 4.8.8 version of GAP by running:

import sage.interfaces.gap
GAP_PATH = "/home/captainhampton/gap4r8/bin/gap.sh"
sage.interfaces.gap.gap_cmd = GAP_PATH

which is where I've installed the 4.8.8 version of GAP. Indeed, if I run

gap.console()

However, if in SAGE, this does not change gap.version(). It still gives 4.8.3. Is there a way I can point this gap to the 4.8.8 version? Thanks.

Hello,

I'm curious if it is possible to stop Sage from automatically generating corresponding Python files. For instance, if I run a sage script test.sage, then after running sage test.sage, I'll get an automatically generated file called test.sage.py. Is there any way to suppress the generation of this file? I tried to take a look in the documentation, but I couldn't find anything.

Thanks again!
