If you want your file to get preparsed (such that the Sage preparser
replaces '^' by '**' "internally" when you load or run the file with
'sage'), simply rename your file to "f.sage".
Similar holds for '.pyx' vs. '.spyx'; the latter first gets preparsed.
thanks for this Leif. Where do I look for documentation of this issue?
The help page for load() discusses file extensions but does not mention
preparsing.
See for example
http://sagemath.org/doc/tutorial/programming.html#loading-and-attaching-sage-files
or type 'preparse?<RETURN>' at the 'sage:' prompt.
The documentation for 'load' (type 'load?') also refers to 'attach',
whose documentation is more explicit regarding filename extensions.
