New description:
When doing factor?? (either from the command line or in the notebook), the
given file is in site-packages. It should give the file in devel instead.
Example: factor??
{{{
Type: function
Base Class: <type 'function'>
String Form: <function factor at 0x282d230>
Namespace: Interactive
File: /usr/local/src/sage-4.4.4/local/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/sage/rings/arith.py
Definition: factor(n, proof=None, int_=False, algorithm='pari',
verbose=0, **kwds)
}}}
Suggested approaches during SD23 lightning talk:
Add a big note in the developer guide around where the location of the
cloned branch is mentioned
Also: no source file is given for class methods, for example:
n = 60
n.factor??
{{{
Type: builtin_function_or_method
Base Class: <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
String Form: <built-in method factor of sage.rings.integer.Integer
object at 0x428ed20>
Namespace: Interactive
Definition: n.factor(self, algorithm='pari', proof=True, limit=None)
Source:
def factor(self, algorithm='pari', proof=True, limit=None):
}}}
In the notebook interface, n.factor?? DOES work, and it even points to the
right file in the devel directory.
