Correction, http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/8495 fixes some MMA issues, but others remain, and are in #10968. Note, I found the bug I reported in #8495, which was later opened as #10968, within 1-2 minutes of testing with the most basic of examples of Mathematica usage. You can't get much simpler than finding a numerical approximation of Pi. If I understand it correclty, the test failures noted on #8495, which took 13 months to fix, were introduced much earlier in #3587, but nobody had noticed. I know pexpect has been the source of numerous issues in Sage, so I'm not about to rely on pexpect when I can use an interface developed for Mathematica by Wolfram Research, which would undergo far more testing than the Mathematica inferface we have in Sage, which is an optional package underging very limited testing.
