Or you can use "math.log" instead of "log" -- this should use the Python log function rather than the Maxima one: use def expon(mx,g): return floor(math.log(mx)/math.log(g))+1 John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
