You're absolutely right. This is a bug in the SAGE notebook, or rather,
and unforseen "feature". In the notebook if an input cell line starts
with either "sage:" or ">>>", then the input is viewed as an example
that was likely pasted in, and *only* the lines that begin with sage:
are evaluated. (The parser that checks for this doesn't take into
account triple-quoted strings!) Unfortunately this leads to the
following sort of stupid behavior:
{{{
def foo(x):
"""
EXAMPLES:
sage: 2+2
4
"""
return x
///
4
}}}
{{{
foo(5)
///
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/home/server/sage_notebook/worksheets/_uniqued/code/13.py", line 4, in
<module>
exec compile(ur'foo(Integer(5))' + '\n', '', 'single')
File "/home/server/", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'foo' is not defined
}}}
This is now trac #228:

THANKS for reporting this bug!
