{{{
By the way, I discovered accidentally that from the command line (not
the notebook) if you type:
sage: ed # or %ed or %edit
then it opens up your favorite editor (whatever is set by the $EDITOR
shell variable). Then in the editor you can type
def FF(x):
long definition here
which would be really annoying
to type on the command line
then save it -- it gets written to a temporary file -- and the code
gets executed and you have thus redefined FF. Then later you can do
sage: ed FF
and it will let you modify your code. This is an ipython feature, it
seems. Should it be described somewhere in the Sage documentation?
}}}
The following commands should at least be documented in the Developers'
Guide together with explanation on how to use them for interactive
development:
1. `load` --- see `sage.misc.interpreter`
1. `attach --- see `sage.misc.interpreter``
1. `iload` --- see `sage.misc.interpreter`
1. `ed`
1. `%ed`
1. `%edit` --- see the
[http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/config/editors.html IPython
manual]
1. `edit()` --- see `sage.misc.edit_module.edit`
