Hi John, Thanks for the reply, the suggestions and the examples. I've seen the Factorization object and briefly thought of building a Spectrum object, but thought it sounded like overkill. But maybe I can just subclass Factorization and override the _repr_ method (or similar) to print the spect

Harald, thanks for this post, I hadn't heard of this until now. I don't think our group yet has a need to interface Sage and Matlab (which everyone here uses), but should one arise and we wind up integrating mlabwrap into Sage, we'll surely share with the community. On Jun 8, 5:00 pm, Harald Schi

I think a useful thing to have in sage would be mutations of graphs (which occur in the theory of cluster algebras by Fomin and Zelevinski). Bernhard Keller has written a java applet (and application) to do this which is widely used. See here http://people.math.jussieu.fr/~keller/quivermutation/
