This tutorial discusses some techniques of functional programming that might be of interest to mathematicians or people who use Python for scientific computation. We first start off with a brief overview of procedural and object-oriented programming, and then discuss functional programming techniques. Along the way, we briefly review Python’s built-in support for functional programming, including [...]

After compiling a source version of Sage, you can choose to run the test suite on the whole Sage library, on all modules under a given directory, or on a specified module only. For the purposes of this post, I have compiled Sage 4.1.1 from source and the top level Sage directory is
[mvngu@mod sage-4.1.1]$ pwd
