Hi Nicolas, Anne and I have been having a conversation off line about this. I know she is right about this, but I'm trying to push for a 'be nice to the user' philosophy. I realize that sage shouldn't be assuming choices about where to express the result, but if a calculation 'makes sense,' it seems like a hard line to take to raise an error. Especially in this case, the product would depend only on the parent of a and parent of b (since the product a*b would naturally lie in (k+ell)-bounded space). I guess the best we can do is try to give clearer error messages. -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-combinat-devel" group.
