It's gotta be reproducible *too*?? Geez.
This may be a cheap shot, but:
sage: x._FreeAlgebraQuotientElement__vector??
Error getting source: arg is not a module, class, method, function,
traceback, frame, or code object
Type: Vector_rational_dense
Base Class: <type
'sage.modules.vector_rational_dense.Vector_rational_dense'>
String Form: (-3, -1/4, -1, 1/2)
Namespace: Interactive
Length: 4
Docstring [source file open failed]:
x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for
signature
(x is a random element from a quaternion algebra).
"x.__class__.__doc__" gives nothing, FWIW.
I'll keep an eye out for real examples. I know I had a couple around
here someplace...
Thanks for the reply.
