I have just tried this on my newly installed sage7.3 on my new computer with Ubuntu16.04.
P=plot(log((1+x)/(1-x)), (x, -1,1))
print(P)
gives
Graphics object consisting of 1 graphics primitive
show(P)
gives a lengthy error message which ends with
ImportError: cannot import name scimath
I installed sage at /home/jack/Tools
One clue might be the initial message I get on initiating sage in a terminal. It reads:
****************************************
sys:1: RuntimeWarning: not adding directory '' to sys.path since everybody can write to it.
Untrusted users could put files in this directory which might then be imported by your Python code. As a general precaution from similar exploits, you should not execute Python code from this directory
*****************************************
Since I am the only user of this desktop computer I am not too concerned :-)
