Tobias, We are using the notebook, but knowing how to do it command line is also helpful.
So it is true that we did not know to use < >. However, I'm still doing something wrong. I entered load </Users/ataylor/research/Students/EliseAndrew/sageprogram.sage> and I know this is closer because my error changed. The error now says ValueError: argument (='</Users/ataylor/research/Students/EliseAndrew/sageprogram.sage>\ ') to load or attach must have extension py, sage, or pyx But our program does have the extension sage. So I'm not sure why it is telling me this. - Amelia On Jun 12, 1:28 am, Tobias Katz <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Amelia, > How did you try to load the file? > I guess you are using the notebook. > There it is possible to load a file with > load('<absolute_path>'). > > If you are using the command line version you can also use > run <absolute or relative path> > or > run -i <absolute or relative path> > for running your script in the actual namespace. > > Cheers.. > > On 06/12/2010 06:07 AM, ataylor wrote: > > > Hi. > > > I have a MacOS 10.5.8 and while I used sage a long time ago, I have > > students who need to use sage now and so am being reintroduced. > > > Today we wrote a little for loop and called the file sageprogram.sage > > just to get started.
