You can use reset():

sage: a = 3
sage: a
3
sage: reset()
sage: a
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
[...]
NameError: name 'a' is not defined

You can also give variable names, like reset("a b c") and so on. Type reset? at the console for the details.

I'm using Sage from the interactive shell. How can I clear/remove all the variables I have defined so far in my current session?

There are known problems with Sage on Lion, but the Sage binary compiled for Snow Leopard (Mac OS 10.6) has been reported to work on Lion.

However, there may be an incompatibility with the .app wrapper instead of the underlying Sage program . . . can you let us know the result of opening Sage on the command line? Try opening the Terminal (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and pasting in the following:

/Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage

Does that give you a "sage:" prompt, or result in more errors?

Updates: Ok; @jholtzman, it looks like you are having trouble with iPython; I'm not sure why. Which version of Sage did you install?

@Louisa Grey, it looks like you're getting the expected output; does the notebook start when you type "notebook()" at the "sage:" prompt? If so, I would say that Sage is working, but the .app wrapper is not.

@niles, the notebook did start when I typed notebook() at the sage: prompt. Now I just have to learn how to use it :)

Thank you so much for your help. On my machine I did get a "sage:" prompt (after some other text, pasted below) & was then able to start the notebook, so it looks like I'm good to go. If there's anything else you would like me to try/ any info you want me to send, I'd be glad to help- LSLaptop:~ lrs$ /Applications/Sage-4.7.1-OSX-64bit-10.6.app/Contents/Resources/sage/sage ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sage Version 4.7.1, Release Date: 2011-08-11 | | Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Setting permissions of DOT_SAGE directory so only you can read and write it. sage:

I downloaded the 64-bit app version of Sage today, then dragged the app to my Applications folder. When I tried to open it, I got the following message in Terminal. I am new to the Mac OS and would appreciate any suggestions/directions!
