Comment(by kcrisman):

 Dumb question: why the nested try/except instead of two excepts?  Is one
 better than the other in this case?

 Perhaps just uninformed question: In expect.py, we send
 `'quit;\n'+chr(3)`, but here you only send `chr(3)` (end of text
 character, says wikipedia).  Does that matter?  I'd think Maxima would
 like to hear quit, perhaps, but maybe it really just needs this special
 character to know to quit a computation.

 {{{
 sage -t  "devel/sage/sage/interfaces/maxima.py"
          [241.5 s]

 All tests passed!
 Total time for all tests: 242.5 seconds
 }}}
 So that is a good sign... first time I've had that in years!
