A Worksheet.

A worksheet is embedded in a web page that is served by the Sage server. It is a linearly-ordered collections of numbered cells, where a cell is a single input/output block.

The worksheet module is responsible for running calculations in a worksheet, spawning Sage processes that do all of the actual work and are controlled via pexpect, and reporting on results of calculations. The state of the cells in a worksheet is stored on the filesystem (not in the notebook pickle sobj).

class sage.server.notebook.worksheet.Worksheet(name, dirname, notebook_worksheet_directory, system, owner, docbrowser=False, pretty_print=False, auto_publish=False)
DIR()

Return the absolute path to the directory that contains the Sage Notebook directory for the notebook that contains this worksheet.

OUTPUT: string

EXAMPLES:

sage: nb = sage.server.notebook.notebook.Notebook(tmp_dir())
sage: W = nb.create_new_worksheet('A Test Worksheet', 'admin')
sage: W.DIR()   # random output
'/Users/was/.sage/temp/teragon_2.local/19129'
__cmp__(other)

We compare two worksheets.

INPUT:

  • self, other - worksheets

OUTPUT:

  • -1,0,1 - comparison is on the underlying filenames.

EXAMPLES:

sage: nb = sage.server.notebook.notebook.Notebook(tmp_dir())
sage: W2 = nb.create_new_worksheet('test2', 'admin')
sage: W1 = nb.create_new_worksheet('test1', 'admin')
sage: cmp(W1, W2)
1
sage: cmp(W2, W1)
-1
__getitem__(n)
__getstate__()

The getstate method makes sure that the self.__cells dictionary is not saved in the pickle since it could be huge.

OUTPUT: a dictionary; same as self.__dict__ but with some fields deleted.

EXAMPLES:

sage: nb = sage.server.notebook.notebook.Notebook(tmp_dir())
sage: W = nb.create_new_worksheet('Test Edit Save', 'admin')

__init__(name, dirname, notebook_worksheet_directory, system, owner, docbrowser=False, pretty_print=False, auto_publish=False)

Create and initialize a new worksheet.

INPUT:

  • name - string; the name of this worksheet
  • dirname - string; name of the directory in which the worksheet’s data is stored
  • notebook_worksheet_directory - string; the directory in which the notebook object that contains this worksheet stores worksheets, i.e., nb.worksheet_directory().
  • system - string; ‘sage’, ‘gp’, ‘singular’, etc. - the math software system in which all code is evaluated by default

sage: W = nb.create_new_worksheet('Test', 'sage')
sage: W.edit_save('Sage\nsystem:sage\n{{{\n2+3\n///\n5\n}}}')

Notice that there is 1 cell with 5 in its output.

sage: W.cell_list()
[Cell 0; in=2+3, out=
5]

We now delete the output, observe that it is gone.

sage: W.delete_all_output('sage')
sage: W.cell_list()
[Cell 0; in=2+3, out=]

If an invalid user tries to delete all, a ValueError is raised.

...
ValueError: user 'hacker' not allowed to edit this worksheet

Clean up.

'wstein'

Then we delete wstein from W, which makes the owner None:

limit_snapshots()

This routine will limit the number of snapshots of a worksheet, as specified by a hard-cioded value below.

set_owner(owner)
set_pretty_print(check='false')

Set whether or not output should be pretty printed by default.

INPUT:

  • check - string (default: ‘false’); either ‘true’ or ‘false’.

Note

The reason the input is a string and lower case instead of a Python bool is because this gets called indirectly from javascript. (And, Jason Grout wrote this and didn’t realize how unpythonic this design is - it should be redone to use True/False.)

EXAMPLES:

sage: nb = sage.server.notebook.notebook.Notebook(tmp_dir())

Now for the admin user we move W to the archive:

sage: W.move_to_archive('admin')

The view is now archive.

sage: W.user_view('admin')
0

sage: W.viewers()
['hilbert', 'sage']

INPUT:

  • server, ulimit - strings that are passed to the Sage pexpect interface constructor

EXAMPLES: The _a_sage variable is initially set to None:
