Fwd: patch for fricas.py
Bill Page
much my private emails...
The test
sage: a = fricas(x+2)
is correctly written as it stands. Sage is supposed to be able to
convert (most) Sage symbolic expressions directly to Axiom/FriCAS
syntax.
Using
sage:a = fricas('x+2')
just passes a string (which happens to also be correct Axiom syntax)
so it does not test what the original test did.
I don't know that the problem is yet and I don't have a Sage 4.0
system setup to work on this myself but it might have something to do
with the new symbolics sub-system in Sage.

Bill Page.

Bill,
I made two changes to fricas.py to make the tests pass. The first is
sage: a = fricas(x+2) to sage:a = fricas('x+2') (line 129). All of the
other examples have the quote marks. Is this correct or should the
test pass without? The second is to add an __init__ method to class
FriCAS so that it does not use axiom as the command (line 164).
Sorry for not making a patch. I went through the process:
sage -clone myver
sage -ba
made the changes, ran the test and it worked.
sage -br myver
this resulted in a new byte-compiled file. I re-did the test to check
that the file changed.
Inside sage I ran hg_sage.status() and got the result that no files
were changed. I also ran hg_sage.diff() and got nothing. I must have
done something silly but hg is insisting that there is no change. It
must be comparing to itself rather than to the parent.
In any case, I have attached the file.
Cheers,
Adam Webb
PS this is all versus Sage Version 4.0.2.rc3.
PPS I suppose I could post to sage-devel but I did not think it made
sence to post a patch for an optional package that does not yet exist.
