SageMath version and banner info#

sage.misc.banner.banner()#

Print the Sage banner.

OUTPUT: None

If the environment variable SAGE_BANNER is set to no, no banner is displayed. If SAGE_BANNER is set to bare, a simplified plain ASCII banner is displayed. Otherwise, the full banner with box art is displayed.

EXAMPLES:

sage: import sage.misc.banner; sage.misc.banner.SAGE_BANNER = ''
sage: sage.misc.banner.banner()
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SageMath version ..., Release Date: ...                            │
│ Using Python .... Type "help()" for help.                          │
...
sage.misc.banner.banner_text(full=True)#

Text for the Sage banner.

INPUT:

  • full – boolean (optional, default=``True``)

OUTPUT:

A string containing the banner message.

If option full is False, a simplified plain ASCII banner is displayed; if True the full banner with box art is displayed.

EXAMPLES:

sage: print(sage.misc.banner.banner_text(full=True))
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ SageMath version ...
sage: print(sage.misc.banner.banner_text(full=False))
SageMath version ..., Release Date: ...
sage.misc.banner.require_version(major, minor=0, tiny=0, prerelease=False, print_message=False)#

True if Sage version is at least major.minor.tiny.

INPUT:

  • major – integer

  • minor – integer (optional, default = 0)

  • tiny – float (optional, default = 0)

  • prerelease – boolean (optional, default = False)

  • print_message – boolean (optional, default = False)

OUTPUT:

True if major.minor.tiny is <= version of Sage, False otherwise

For example, if the Sage version number is 3.1.2, then require_version(3, 1, 3) will return False, while require_version(3, 1, 2) will return True. If the Sage version is 3.1.2.alpha0, then require_version(3, 1, 1) will return True, while, by default, require_version(3, 1, 2) will return False. Note, though, that require_version(3, 1, 2, prerelease=True) will return True: if the optional argument prerelease is True, then a prerelease version of Sage counts as if it were the released version.

If optional argument print_message is True and this function is returning False, print a warning message.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.misc.banner import require_version
sage: require_version(2, 1, 3)
True
sage: require_version(821, 4)
False
sage: require_version(821, 4, print_message=True)
This code requires at least version 821.4 of SageMath to run correctly.
You are running version ...
False
sage.misc.banner.version()#

Return the version of Sage.

OUTPUT:

str

EXAMPLES:

sage: version()
'SageMath version ..., Release Date: ...'
sage.misc.banner.version_dict()#

A dictionary describing the version of Sage.

INPUT:

nothing

OUTPUT:

dictionary with keys ‘major’, ‘minor’, ‘tiny’, ‘prerelease’

This process the Sage version string and produces a dictionary. It expects the Sage version to be in one of these forms:

N.N
N.N.N
N.N.N.N
N.N.str
N.N.N.str
N.N.N.N.str

where ‘N’ stands for an integer and ‘str’ stands for a string. The first integer is stored under the ‘major’ key and the second integer under ‘minor’. If there is one more integer, it is stored under ‘tiny’; if there are two more integers, then they are stored together as a float N.N under ‘tiny’. If there is a string, then the key ‘prerelease’ returns True.

For example, if the Sage version is ‘3.2.1’, then the dictionary is {‘major’: 3, ‘minor’: 2, ‘tiny’: 1, ‘prerelease’: False}. If the Sage version is ‘3.2.1.2’, then the dictionary is {‘major’: 3, ‘minor’: 2, ‘tiny’: 1.200…, ‘prerelease’: False}. If the Sage version is ‘3.2.alpha0’, then the dictionary is {‘major’: 3, ‘minor’: 2, ‘tiny’: 0, ‘prerelease’: True}.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.misc.banner import version_dict
sage: print("SageMath major version is %s" % version_dict()['major'])
SageMath major version is ...
sage: version_dict()['major'] == int(sage.version.version.split('.')[0])
True
