I am rather fond of the '..' operator, though I can see why people wouldn't want to add it as an official part of sage. This got me to thinking--what if there were a way to have my own preprocessor (in a .sagerc file or something) for shortcuts that I personally want. I envision that it would only work from the commandline or notebook, not in a sage file. Otherwise things would get very confusing very quickly! There would of course need to be an easy way to get the resulting sage (or python) file like there is now, so that I could distribute the resulting sage file for other people to use.
Just a thought I had... Just another rc file junkie, Ivan Andrus P.S. ruby has 2 operators like '..': 0..4 is 0,1,2,3,4 0...4 is 0,1,2,3 i.e. two dots includes the end point and three does not. They come in handy at different times (and I think they improve readability a lot), though it is a little confusing as to which is which if you use them infrequently. -- MacMail - the Webmail service especially for Mac users worldwide http://www.macmail.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
