Comment:
I agree that this is invalid. Doing {{{gp('kill(x)')}}} means to create
an object "kill(x)" in gp, assign it to a variable, and return a object
pointing to that variable.
{{{
sage: type(gp('kill(x)'))
<class 'sage.interfaces.gp.GpElement'>
}}}
This is how it works for all the interfaces. If you just want to evaluate
a command, then you can do
{{{
sage: gp.eval('kill(x)')
''
}}}
which appropriately returns an empty string.
