Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by 'nicely wraps'? I wrote the ClassFunction class that wraps GAP's ClassFunction command, but I'd like to know what more could/should be done. I am not a GAP expert so the code would definitely benefit from someone more knowledgeable about GAP taking a look at it and providing suggestions. Currently, if you have a group G, then you can define a character/class function using G.character(values), you can access the irreducible characters using G.irreducible_characters(), grab the character table .... I think a Sage Days dedicated to representation theory might be a good idea, where the goal would be to implement: computation of the representation theory of finite groups, finite semigroups, finite dimensional algebras (quivers with relations), ....
