Hi Mike,
Thanks for the explanation.
Indeed a Permutation could be represented by an element of a symmetric
group, but we would want to make sure that until a group-theoretic
question
is asked, no call to GAP should interfere with the calculations.
Your:
sage: G = Permutations(3)
would be ana

Hello,
The main reason there is a split now between PermutationGroup and
Permutations is that they're concerned with different things which
happen share some commonality. For example,
sage: Permutations(3, 2).list()
[[1, 2], [1, 3], [2, 1], [2, 3], [3, 1], [3, 2]]
sage: Permutations([1,1,2,2]).
