What do you think the implications of the following changes would be ? - if isinstance(x, (list,tuple)): - try: - x = self.optimized()[0].V().linear_combination_of_basis(x) - except ValueError as msg: - raise TypeError(msg) - elif isinstance(x, FGP_Element): + if isinstance(x, FGP_Element): x = x.lift() return self.element_class(self, self._V(x)) This changes the codes that appears in : sage: g=groups.misc.AdditiveAbelian([4,3,3,5]) sage: g._element_constructor?? The thing is that I really know nothing about groups, nothing about their implementation in Sage, and that I have no idea what the impact of such changes can be .... :-/ Nathann -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
