Hi, I think its a issue of parsing. If your file is called hello.py it gives the errors you mentioned. However if you call your file hello.sage it works. If you call your file hello.sage and run sage hello.sage it generates a hello.py which I append below - # This file was *autogenerated* from the file temp.sage. from sage.all_cmdline import * # import sage library _sage_const_5 = Integer(5); _sage_const_4 = Integer(4) var('x,y') __tmp__=var("x,y"); f = symbolic_expression(x*y).function(x,y) print f(_sage_const_5 ,_sage_const_4 ) I think you can now figure out how it is working. Hope it helps.
