More details. When I invoke mysage from the command line, and I type sys.path
it prints paths pointing to my local branch. However, if I fire up the notebook server by notebook() start a new notebook and type sys.path it points to the system wide directory. If I type os.environ['SAGE_ROOT'] from the command line it points to my local branch but from the notebook it points to the system directory.
