SAGE is awesome. I highly recommend it. Recently I've been looking at it more intently with the idea of using in math classes.
For the last few weeks I've been working very hard on getting a new math class officially recognized for next year, and I got the green light! So, next year we will officially be offering a computational math analysis course! I'm thrilled. It will be the traditional analysis curriculum using a computational language. So I've recently been examining SAGE with this new course in mind. I think something like SAGE would be even better for an Analysis type course than straight Python. You can very easily do all kinds of graphing. It has all the functionality of any Computer Algebra System you could name, but you can also program ideas from scratch. You can use SAGE either with or without a browser, but through the browser is a lot more practical. It lets you very easily create and maintain worksheets. Yeah, it is a bit hefty. A massive download. But well worth the cost! : ) SymPy is also great. I've looked at it a bit. SAGE actually includes SymPy as part of its machinery.
