Description 

Yeah, I think it would greatly help if users could send an env
variable that dumps the pexpect communication to a file. Currently I
have to debug some Singular vs. pexpect problems on Solaris, but I
guess with mhansen's help I will finally learn how to fix those
issues. But for random users out there a magic switch that gives us
logs and helps us hunt down "random" problems would be a great thing
IMHO.

I've added a patch to do this which uses the SAGE_PEXPECT_LOG environment variable.

  • Milestone changed from sage-wishlist to sage-3.1.3
  • Summary changed from [with patch, needs review] magic pexpect logging switch to [with patch, positive review] magic pexpect logging switch

The patch looks very nice to me and will surely help us debug loads of Heisenbugs in the future. Positive review.

Cheers,

Michael
