So technically, if you ensure a syntax error is encountered (better make it a really bad one. Typing "@@@" should work pretty much anywhere), your command *isn't* executed; not even partially: Python parses the *whole* line, converting it into bytecode, before executing. So no lookup of the attribute "basis" on "V" would be happening.
That said, I agree that ^C could quite reasonably cancel a line. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
