> Is it easier to import SageMath from a plain Python script now; with conda repackaging? Yes, it's easy. It was always possible, since fortunately none of the Sage library implementation uses the Sage preprocessor. You could always do "sage -python" and you get the Python interpreter that Sage uses, and can import Sage via "import sage.all". Somebody asked me exactly this question at a colloquium talk I gave on Sage yesterday, and here's my answer/demo: https://youtu.be/dy792FEh1ns?t=1140 https://youtu.be/dy792FEh1ns?t=1140 In the demo, I use a Jupyter kernel that runs the Python included in Sage-9.8. Disclaimer: I created the Sage preparser long ago, in order to make Sage more palatable to mathematicians. In particular, it was inspired by audience feedback during a live demo I did at PyCon 2005.

It does a surprising number of little clever things we realized would be a good idea over years, and it has some neat ideas from various Python PEP's like [1..10] that were rejected from Python, but are very useful when expressing mathematics. It's also annoying when you just want to format your code using prettier (say), and you can't because Sage isn't Python. :-(

  Recently I've been working with the %%ipytest magic command for running pytest in notebooks. Is there a %%sage IPython magic method that passes code through the preparse.py input transform?
