Which is why I wanted to just extract the function itself (after all, the decorator does still work, as in the example of f above), and then ask SageTeX to just run the function with defaults. I'm not looking to have the interact itself, just the default output of the interact function (no widgets, for instance). - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
