Hi,

I'm running Debian Wheezy x86_64.
I downloaded the sources (sage-6.4) which I compiled and run for a few months already.

I used to run Python scripts from Sage like this:

$ sage -python <script.py>

The script was actually exported from a notebook I was running. I just felt more comfortable running a script than going through the Notebook interface...

And it worked just fine until this weekend. I guess my problems are due to an update of my OS I did this weekend. I haven't kept note of the various packages I updated. I think GCC was in the lot.

Now, I can run the Notebook without any problem but I get this error when I run my script :

$ sage -python debug.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: cannot import name ZZ

The problem concerns a simple import that now does not work. I just putted these two lines in my "debug.py" script:

from sage.numerical.mip import MixedIntegerLinearProgram
print MixedIntegerLinearProgram.__doc__

I re-compiled my sources but the problem remains. Notebook still works just fine.

Any thoughts ?
To be honest, I don't know the ZZ module.

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Eric

Hello,

If you want to run *pure* python you should use

sage -python my_file.py

By pure Python I mean which does not need any of the Sage stuff like
ZZ. If you want to run your file just do

sage my_file.py

Running

sage debug.py

does not resolve my issue.

I was looking around in the ask.sagemath.org site and found this post : http://ask.sagemath.org/question/10173/run-python-file-from-command-line-in-sage/. Someone fixed similar issues adding this line to the beginning of the Python script:

from sage.all import *

So I tried and it fixed my problem !

I'm afraid I may be importing *way* too many things in my namespace but for now, it'll do the job.

Anybody has hints on why this is required ?

Does that has the effect of activating sage's virtual environment setup (kind of) ?

Kind regards,

Eric

You don't actually have to import *

The following would also work:

import sage.all
from sage.numerical.mip import MixedIntegerLinearProgram

Or even

from sage.all import MixedIntegerLinearProgram

> Anybody has hints on why this is required ?
Sage contains a lot of circular imports. Modules have to be imported in
exactly the right order otherwise things break.
