When I was trying to fix some problem in relocate-once.py, I tried using Sage's Python to execute it, and that seemed to work. Another fix arose, so it still uses the system Python, but it is possible that Sage's Python could be used to run relocate-once.py. What else do we need the system Python for? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
