Comment (by AlexGhitza):
Some comments, based on 3.1.3.alpha1:
* attach? does work (so fixed)
* print? does not work (so still an issue)
* att[tab] gives attach, not attr (so fixed)
* the following works when written on one line:
{{{
sage: time for i in range(10000): a = i^2
CPU times: user 0.02 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.02 s
Wall time: 0.02 s
}}}
* however, I cannot see how to make it work with a for loop spread over
several lines
Several of the other suggestions seem more appropriate for the FAQ (on the
wiki) than for the tutorial (e.g. the cputime issue, the "use screen
instead of nohup"). I think it is a good idea to mention screen somewhere
in the tutorial, as well as a section about converting from .sage to
.spyx. I am happy to write a small paragraph about the former, but I'm
not the right person for the latter.
I've opened #4204 regarding screen, and someone who agrees that the "sage
2 spyx" section should exist should open a ticket for that. Maybe there
should also be a ticket for "print?". Then we can close this ancient and
somewhat vague ticket.
