sage-mode: This page is here for historical reasons

sage-mode was the first Emacs mode for Sage, originally written by Nick Alexander and later maintained by Ivan Andrus. It used to be shipped with Sage as an spkg, and this page was for a time used as documentation and distribution platform.

sage-mode stopped working with Sage 7.4 and was superseded by sage-shell-mode by Sho Takemori.

The main repository for sage-mode is hosted on Bitbucket. The most recent version of sage-mode is available from https://bitbucket.org/gvol/sage-mode/downloads.

Description

sage-mode provides Emacs Lisp that helps you use Sage in GNU Emacs. Inspiration was originally provided by ipython.el.

Dependencies

sage
GNU Emacs with python.el, not python-mode.el. XEmacs might work but has not been tested.

Special Update/Build Instructions

sage-mode (version 0.9.1) is an optional package, so sage -f sage_mode should work. You can also use the latest version https://bitbucket.org/gvol/sage-mode/downloads/, or follow development directly from the repository at http://bitbucket.org/gvol/sage-mode. The following installation instructions are printed when installing:

A basic install might include the following Emacs Lisp in your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "$SAGE_DATA/emacs"))
(require 'sage "sage")
(setq sage-command "$SAGE_ROOT/sage")

;; If you want sage-view to typeset all your output and have plot()
;; commands inline, uncomment the following line and configure sage-view:
;; (require 'sage-view "sage-view")
;; (add-hook 'sage-startup-after-prompt-hook 'sage-view)
;; You can use commands like
;; (add-hook 'sage-startup-after-prompt-hook 'sage-view-disable-inline-output)
;; (add-hook 'sage-startup-after-prompt-hook 'sage-view-disable-inline-plots)
;; to enable some combination of features.  Using sage-view requires a
;; working LaTeX installation with the preview package.

Changelog

sage-mode-0.9.1 (Ivan Andrus, 2013-03-10)

* Fixed some build issues

sage-mode-0.9 (Ivan Andrus, 2013-03-10)

* Fixed completion with new ipython * Fixed interaction with new python.el * Fixed recognition of sage-view output * Added sage-attach-this-file * Make sage-view prettier

sage-mode-0.8 (Ivan Andrus, 2012-09-12)

* Many improvements and new maintainer. * Not yet released. Adds incomplete support for new python.el

sage-mode-0.7 (Nick Alexander, 2011-10-07)

* Fix a bug reported by Ivan Andrus regarding font-lock and triple-quoted strings.

* sage-mode is now hosted on bitbucket for easy viewing and cloning: browse to http://bitbucket.org/gvol/sage-mode.

sage-mode-0.6 (Nick Alexander, 2009-05-11)

* `sage-run' no longer waits for a sage: prompt by default. This can cause problems if `sage-startup-after-prompt-hook' is non-trivial, but doesn't lock up emacs busy waiting for the prompt.

* `sage-send-doctest' now works with multiline tests and one line function definitions.

* `sage-rerun' now exits from the debugger if it sees the debugger prompt, and `sage-build' with a prefix argument (build and run sage) should no longer hang.

* `pyrex-mode' is now autoload-ed and the default for pyx, pxi, and pxd files.

* `next-error' now jumps between top-level errors, avoiding lower level source files. Lower level source files are still hyperlinked.

* `sage-test' with a prefix argument now offers to test without rebuilding.

* Now sage-send-doctest' and sage-send-region' are bound in *Help* buffer.

* `sage-send-{buffer, region doctest}' now either automatically (`sage-quit-debugger-automatically') or after a prompt quit the debugger before sending input to the sage slave.

* In the debugger, very short history items are not remembered. (No more looping through u/d in the history.)

* *sage-test* buffers now search for test status rather than relying on the exit codes that incorrectly say tests failed all the time.

* SPKG.txt and spkg-install now print paths in the install instructions.

* C-u RET no longer sends input to the sage slave with output to *sage-output*. Use `sage-move-output-to-buffer' instead, or `comint-write-output' to save to a file.

sage-mode-0.5.4 (Nick Alexander, 2009-03-13)

* Fixed errors in sage-build' and sage-test' autoloads; made sage-mode.el provide 'sage-mode.

sage-mode-0.5.3 (Nick Alexander, 2009-03-12)

* Updated `sage-view' to new version.

* Completely reworked keymaps and added preliminary menus.

* Completely reworked customize interface and added autoload interface through sage.el' and autogenerated sage-load.el'.

* Added some documentation and additional customization options.

sage-mode-0.5.2 (Nick Alexander, 2009-02-19)

* Made individual parts of `sage-view' toggleable, fixed bugs with plots and multiple outputs.

sage-mode-0.5.1 (Nick Alexander, 2009-02-11)

* Added sage-startup-hook' and made sage-view' actually usable.

sage-mode-0.5 (Nick Alexander, 2009-01-31)

* Incorporated Matthias Meulien's sage-view.el. To enable, try sage-view or

(add-hook 'inferior-sage-mode-hook 'sage-view).

* Added sage-rerun to restart sage and made C-u C-c C-b (sage-build with a

prefix argument) build and restart sage.

sage-mode-0.4 (Nick Alexander, 2008-06-16)

I honestly can't remember.

sage-mode-0.3 (Nick Alexander, 2008-06-15)

Add sage-build command. Make sage-default-test-* more robust, and add `sage-send-all-doctest-lines-in-file'.

* sage-build.el: new module for building (sage-build) and running (sage-build with prefix argument) sage.

* sage-test.el (sage-send-all-doctest-lines): new function. Runs all sage: doctest lines in a file in sequence. Use with pdb to reproduce errors found only after sage -t.

* sage-test.el (sage-default-test-command, sage-default-test-new-command): cleaned up to use sage-build.
