Hi, debian linux, Sage-6.2.
It took me some time to track down a problem in my code that boiled down
to the interpretation of a caret ("^") in a file which was read using
load() in a sage session.
Specifically, I have a file called "f.py" which contains a single line, "o
= 10^6". I load() this file, expecting o to be 1000000, but instead it
takes the value 12. This is , I think, the result of a bitwise xor
operation. But it is not what I wanted.
sage: !cat f.py
o = 10^6
sage: load("f.py")
sage: o
12
sage:
Note that in interactive mode, the caret is interpreted as expected:
sage: o = 10^6
sage: o
1000000
sage:
Is this a bug? Can anyone advise? I am very very very reluctant to adopt
the ghastly "**" notation.
best wishes
Robin
