I opened a ticket for the underlying issue: ============================================================================== Trac #18512: Move notebook() into Sage
Right now the `notebook()` function is a lazy import from sagenb. Hence any access (like looking at the docstring) imports sagenb which changes the display backend which causes various problems (see https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-devel/3uaY6xHLMqQ/Zyn67xJ0LaMJ). It also doesn't fit into a world where there is more than one notebook. And its current behavior of turning the current Sage session into a notebook server can't work with the IPython notebook or SMC. First, we should definitely move `notebook` into the Sage library to move it away from sagenb. The more general question is what to do with it then. Options are * Just let it launch SageNB, any other notebook needs to be launched via `sage --notebook=...` on the commandline * Deprecate `notebook()` altogether * Let `notebook()` always spawn an independent process, and add an argument to select which one Status: new Component: notebook Last modified: 2015-05-26 07:04:55 Created: 2015-05-26 07:04:55 UTC Report upstream: N/A Authors: Reviewers: Branch: Keywords: Dependencies: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ URL: http://trac.sagemath.org/18512 ============================================================================== On Wednesday, May 6, 2015 at 10:51:27 AM UTC+2, Jean-Pierre Flori wrote: > > Dear all, > > My Sage 6.6 install quits after printing a depreciation warning message > when I issue: > sage: vars() > > Same is true for at least globals(). > Any clue on what's going on? > > Best, > JP > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
