Hi,
Using sage-2.9.3, on Debian Etch on a core duo machine.
According to the sage tutorial p.67 section 5.3 Standalone Python/Sage
Scripts, i tried to run such a script called BMV.sage:
#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
import sys
$ ./BMV.sage
/usr/bin/env: sage -python: file or directory not found
though
$ /usr/bin/env sage -python
brings me to the python command line, i.e. this works.
changing the file BMV.sage to:
#!/path/to/sage/sage -python
import sys
shows strange behaviour:
if i run this script, nothing happens, just the mouse pointer changes
(into a cross), clicking the mouse button (left or right) brings back
the shell command line prompt, no output at all...., and the mouse
pointer turns to normal again...
runnin the script:
#!/path/to/sage/sage -python
a = "Hello"
outputs
./BMV.sage: line 2: a: command not found
the script from the tutorial, literally:
#!/home/georg/Daten/.System/bin/sage/sage -python
import sys
from sage.all import *
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
print "Usage: %s <n>"%sys.argv[0]
print "Outputs the prime factorization of n."
sys.exit(1)
print factor(sage_eval(sys.argv[1])
gives the following output, as above not before clicking one of the
mouse buttons:
$ ./BMV.sage
from: can't read /var/mail/sage.all
./BMV.sage: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `sys.argv'
./BMV.sage: line 4: `if len(sys.argv) != 2:'
additionally there is a file called 'sys' created in the directory of
BMV.sage, this is to long to post it here, the beginning is
%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%Creator: (ImageMagick)
%%Title: (sys)

Georg,
1. Is this a clean, from-source build of sage-2.9.3?
2. What is the output of /usr/bin/env for you? Mine (Intel OS X
10.5.1) doesn't mention sage at all, although mysteriously things are
working for me.
> #!/usr/bin/env sage -python
> import sys
For me, I get
$ ./BMV.sage
$
Also, if I add print 2+2, it works too:
$ ./BMV.sage
4
However, when I run the sage itself, it looks like it's pointing at
some weird version:
$ /usr/bin/env sage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| SAGE Version 2.9.2, Release Date: 2008-01-05 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loading SAGE library. Current Mercurial branch is: demo
This isn't what I was expecting at all (I just recently started using
this particular laptop). After some digging, I discover that my /usr/
local/bin contains a script called "sage", which seems to be pretty
much a copy of the main script "sage", in the root directory of a
typical sage install, but the SAGE_ROOT is explicitly set to another
version of sage.
So here's what I did:
$ export PATH=/Users/rlmill/sage:$PATH
(this explicitly points to the version I want)
$ ./test
SAGE Version 2.9.3, Release Date: 2008-01-05
(hooray - this is what I was hoping for)
The contents of test are: (minus triple quotes)
"""
#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
import sage
import sage.misc
import sage.misc.banner
from sage.misc.banner import version
print version()
"""
Hopefully this helps, although I have a feeling this thread isn't
over...

Hi Robert,
Yes, i tried it out on two different systems now, Athlon XP, and Core Duo, both running on Debian Etch, and both show the same behaviour
the SAGE_ROOT directory is included in my path, i even defined a global variable with this name, i.e. SAGE_ROOT.
you response encouraged me to try out some more things, and if i change the first line to
#!/usr/bin/env sage-python
instead of
#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
(note that there is no space anymore) things work as excepted (at least import sys and print "Hello World"), seems like my /usr/bin/env does not like the space between (#!/usr/bin/env "sage -python" does not work either)
but however, using
#!/path/to/sage_root/sage-python
import sys
still does not work and shows the same strange "mouse behaviour" as described in my original posting, on both systems!!
no idea why the second one does not work on my systems!!
$/usr/bin/env sage
brings me to the sage prompt as expected
Anyway, at least i found a partial solution to carry on with, but it seems as there are still some things to clarify, especially the mouse thing concerning the import sys
Thank you very much,
Georg

I consider all this a bug, and it's definitely a problem on numerous _linux_
systems. This problem doesn't happen at all on OSX. I've made it

#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
while
#!/usr/bin/env sage
should work. There was a thread about this in one of the sage-* Google
groups. It boiled down to that env should work fine with multi
arguments while some buggy env can't handle it. Maybe we can add some
script that does the equivalent of "sage -python", maybe "local/bin/
sage-python" does that job, but I assume the env isn't set up
properly. In that case we should change the documentation since it has
been popping up over and over these days.

#!/usr/bin/sage-python
works, i mentioned this in my previous posting,
and
#!/path/to/sage_root/sage-python
does not work, but maybe that's not important,

work?

Hi Robert, excuse me for the response delay, i did not notice your question,
bash: ./exp1.sage: /home/georg/Daten/.System/bin/sage/local/bin: bad interpreter: Keine Berechtigung
where "Keine Berechtigung = no permission"
it doesn't even work as root, but the file is executable...
Georg
Doesno, the output is in both cases (sage -python as well as sage-python):
#!/path/to/sage_root/local/bin/sage-python
work?

Hi again,
in my previous posting i had the lines
#!/path/to/sage_root/local/bin sage-python
#!/path/to/sage_root/local/bin sage- python
instead of your request:
#!/path/to/sage_root/local/bin/sage-python
this gives me the same strange mouse effect as described in the original posting, whereas
#!/path/to/sage_root/local/bin/sage -python
gives
bash: ./exp1.sage: /home/georg/Daten/.System/bin/sage/local/bin/sage: bad interpreter: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden = file or directory not found,
i.e the same behauviour as without the "local/bin"

On Jan 18, 9:09 pm, "Georg Grafendorfer"
on? How do you mount them, i.e. with what options? Check /proc/mounts
for that. Does any script work from that particular location?
Can you run the script with "strace -f ./BMV.sage" and post the
output? That might be long, so please consider tarring up the result
and posting a link.

Michael,
OK, i'm already a bit confused, and i don't know any more what your requesting exactly, so i will repeat some things:
The file with the name ./example.sage
#!/home/georg/Daten/.System/bin/sage/sage -python
import sys
gives me that strange mouse behaviour where the mouse pointer changes to a cross (but not this "X-cross" known from pure X-Window) and clicking on the 3 mouse buttons brings me back to the command line with no output at all, this is because of the "import sys" line, without this line nothing happens (just back to the next command line prompt).
OK, this is my /etc/fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

this is my /proc/mounts:

i.e, my data partition where also sage_root is on is mounted at /home
the output of "strace -f ./example.sage" is:
execve("./exp1.sage", ["./exp1.sage"], [/* 25 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)

This made me curious, becuase I also use Debian (sid) and I get the
exact same behaviour
as you do and I was able to figure out where the problem is in the
last 10 minutes. Need to go now.
But I smell I am going to learn something new here. :)

ok, this works:
$ cat t.py
#!/bin/sh /home/ondra/ext/sage/sage
import sys
$ ./t.py
$
And this doesn't:
$ cat t.py
#!/home/ondra/ext/sage/sage
import sys
$ ./t.py
(I get the cross - which means that it's bash, who is executing that file btw)
$ cat t.py
#!/bin/sh /home/ondra/ext/sage/sage -python
import sys
$ ./t.py
/bin/sh: /home/ondra/ext/sage/sage -python: No such file or directory
So I don't know. But it must be something stupid - I bet this used to
work for me before.

Case 1 works
Case 2 outputs
./t.py: line 2: import: command not found
Case 3 behaves as yours.
My 2p: My understanding of the #! convention is that the line is split
up into three parts:
#!
<program name>
<argument(s)>
The <program name> must be an executable PROGRAM, not a script.
The <argument(s) gets treated as a single string.
This would explain my behaviour. Don't know what Debian does in case 2,
Ubuntu seems to just ignore the first line if it's not a true executable
and executes the rest of the file with /bin/sh.

I just posted a patch related to this discussion here
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/1789
I think the upshot of the entire discussion above is (or should be) to use
#!/usr/bin/env sage
instead of
#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
This assumes sage is in your path -- and indeed it should be if you want
to write portable scripts.
The second form above, e.g.,
#!/usr/bin/env sage -python
only works on OS X. The first form, e.g.,
#!/usr/bin/env sage
works on both OS X and linux. Both are equivalent in behavior on OS X.

"exponentiation bug?", according to this thread
sage -python refers to the python version of sage as opposed to the
system's version of python and nothing else, this sounds Ok, but from
"#!/usr/bin/env sage" i expect 2^8 to be wrapped to 2**8, or?
typing "/usr/bin/env sage" on the shell command line brings me to the
sage prompt whereas "/usr/bin/env sage-python" brings me to the python
promp...., so in OS X both commands bring you to the same prompt?
